There is a large focus on nature here with springers shaped like bumblebees, lady bugs, dragonflies and even a very hungry caterpillar! Your little ones will love climbing and exploring on these while your bigger kids will find the wooden play structure featuring a rock wall, rope swing bridge and slide as well as a basketball half court and plenty of grass area to kick a ball on.

There is a lot of shade from all the trees and multiple seating options to choose from - though keep in mind they are not shaded so if you’re planning a picnic on a sunny day, Mamma suggests bringing a blanket. Surrounding the playground are poles Surrounding the playground are poles decorated by local children which brings home a lovely local touch to this hidden park.

Mamma’s special mention: Head down the road to Sebastian’s Food and Wine!

train street playground, highett

Whilst this may be a tiny playground - it sure packs a punch!

Well, bust my buffers! Whilst this may be a tiny playground - it sure packs a punch!

Fully fenced and located right next to Highett railway line, little train lovers will be gobsmacked when they feel the ground rumble beneath them as the trains pass on by! They can wave to the drivers and passengers too!

Meanwhile, they can pretend to be the driver of their very own train - with the great little train play structure. This features a tunnel, slide, ladder and lookout.

The train also has a little hand car behind it with a see-saw. There’s a set of boom-gate swings as well.

This is definitely a playground for the little ones, with just the perfect amount of equipment to keep them happy! If they love Thomas - they will ADORE this cute little spot.

Mamma’s special mention: Head across the road for some truly delicious ice cream at Fresko’s Gelato and Waffle House
