lighthouse playground, tooradin

Overlooking Tooradin Jetty, surrounded by huge (great for climbing!) leafy trees and brightly coloured equipment - it’s a beautiful space to play in.

This is such a great little playground. Overlooking Tooradin Jetty, surrounded by huge (great for climbing!) leafy trees and brightly coloured equipment - it’s a beautiful space to play in.

Climb up to the top of the lighthouse and check out that view! Then disembark down the huge slide. Beware though - as even though adults CAN fit down the slide, they probably shouldn’t - the twists aren’t great for adult bodies as The Hubby found out the hard way!
There’s great musical equipment such as a piano type board, where kids can follow the music notes and play a song!
All of your usual play equipment are here - swings, slides, climbing frames, balancing boards, spinning wheel and more.
There’s grassy space opposite for a picnic or to kick a ball, plus picnic tables, a BBQ and some undercover picnic tables.

Mamma's special mention:
You simply must stop in at Tooradin Ice Cream shop before/after a play!

the nitty gritty

parking by honesty donation- water nearby - bbqs - sheltered picnic areas - public toilets - limited shade

san remo park playground, san remo

Swings, slides, rocking horses, old-style flying fox, and some cool wall mazes set around a climbing structure to resemble a pirate ship.

There’s a great little playground right at the foot of the San Remo bridge that is just perfect to have a little picnic at; with plenty of access to great take-away options (delicious pies from San Remo Bakery!) directly across the road. There are BBQ facilities and picnic tables as well.
The playground itself is of a brightly coloured seaside theme, with heaps to do to keep the kids busy. Swings, slides, rocking horses, old-style flying fox, and some cool wall mazes set around a climbing structure to resemble a pirate ship.
It is close to a main road and sea-side, so make sure you keep an eye on the little ones!

Mamma's special mention:
You simply cannot visit the playground without stopping to watch the Pelican Feeding next door!

the nitty gritty

picnic tables - BBQ facility - free parking - toilet facilities
