"alphabet" sensory playground @ caulfield park, caulfield
Here’s the perfect option for kids who find the other play equipment overstimulating, and offers a more quiet - imaginative form of play.
This cute little playground is set in the most stunning location beside a duck-filled lake and under the shade of dozens of beautiful large trees.
It’s the perfect option for kids who find the other play equipment overstimulating, and offers a more quiet - imaginative form of play.
Here you will have to hunt to find all 26 letters of the alphabet. Some are printed on the ground and others are large interactive shapes that you can swing on, climb through and even make a shop front from.
There’s a QR code that you can scan that gives you ideas on imaginative ways to play and gives you clues on where to find letters if you get stuck.
There are heaps of picnic tables around and plenty of shaded grassy spots to pull up a picnic and watch the ducks go by. Mamma even spotted a little turtle in the lake!
There’s also some play equipment just opposite this sensory playground as well as nearby toilets at the pavillion.

This place is so big there are three different playgrounds to explore! Caulfield Park is Nanna's favourite place to take a stroll on a sunny afternoon and she is always delighted to have a little munchkin to share it with! Mamma loves both playgrounds.

Mamma loves all playgrounds. The first - closest to Inkerman Road - is great for toddlers and preschoolers. A splash of colour over all the attractions and low inclines for crawling or beginning walkers. The car was a huge hit and Uncle Jack got to be bub's unwilling passenger - Mamma is thinking she could do with some lessons! The second playground - closest to Balaclava Road and the duck pond - is very cool with sensory play and big bugs everywhere! This second space would be more suited to your older adventurers with climbing towers, swings and spinners. Oh and after you have played, make sure you talk a walk around the pond to visit the ducks.
