Ahoy there me hearties! It’s time to set sail with those little scallywags and head to Keysborough’s hidden treasure - Somerfield Reserve Playground aka Pirate Park.

With two pirate ships and a towering look out to plunder, Mamma’s little pirates had no trouble spending several hours sailing the seven seas and making Mister Mamma repeatedly walk the plank.

Nestled amongst the overt pirate themed equipment are playground classics like seesaws, a nest swing, carousel ring and huge metal tunnel slide.

Once the kids have wrangled the octopus seesaw, rung the ships bell and followed the multiple paths dotted with rum barrels, they might just be lucky enough to see a pod of seals sunbathing by the rocks.
