Austin Reserve Playground in Seaford has had a facelift and the kids are going to love it!

The new space features recycled materials thoughtfully incorporated across the entire design - from the blue stone paver maze to the tangram snake path art. The playground itself draws inspiration from the natural surrounds of the reserve it backs onto, with a large wooden carved echidna and metal bird installation to reflect the local wildlife. 

One of Mamma’s 5 year old’s favourite features though was the magical fairy door carved into the balancing log at the edge of the park. Mamma knocked several times but the fairies must have been out enjoying the sunshine!

Little climbers will have a field day here with a spider web net, rope tunnel, monkey bars and disc run to one side. On the other side is a spinning rope climber that Mamma’s little one could see from the car because… well, it’s HUGE. 

There is also a play structure perfect for smaller kids which includes a cave like cubby hole and arched climbing wall that leads to a slide. The talking tubes, swings, small pump track and in-ground trampoline complete the playground and offer some more low key alternatives. 

With plenty of green space to kick a ball as well as Tennis courts and walking tracks that lead to the larger bushland reserve - it’s best to block out a few hours before visiting this local gem.

Mamma's special mentions: Once the kids have worked up an appetite, take a step back in time and head to Cafe La Wheels retro diner for some food.
