"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.
