Mamma’s got another fully fenced playground to add to the list! Elsternwick Park Playground (North) is a wonderful little oasis on the Bent Avenue end of the park. 

If there are little climbing enthusiasts in the family, they will love this playground! On one end, there is the giant rope climbing frame with a nest at the top for little adventurers to take in the view of the surrounding parkland. On the other end is a play structure complete with rock climbing wall, vertical rope tunnel and chute slide. 

For the younger kids, there is a small water play area with a hand wheel pump, low toddler swing, tunneled mounds to explore and musical instruments to thump. 

And once the kids are done on the equipment, why not pull out the  scooters or bikes and follow the paths around the park -  make sure to stop at the small skate park (the perfect size for kids!) and lake where you can look out for the resident turtles.

north road foreshore playground, brighton

North Road Foreshore Playground has it all - the beach, water play, a beautiful city view and coffee, just a stone's throw away. 

North Road Foreshore Playground has it all - the beach, water play, a beautiful city view and coffee, just a stone's throw away. 

This seaside playground has a giant pirate ship at its heart, complete with slide, climbing nets and balance beams. The little ones happily sailed the seven seas while Mamma got to nurse a coffee from the nearby cafe. 

Surrounding the ship are several in-ground trampolines, a spinning cup and nest swing for those who want to get the adrenaline pumping.

By the shaded sandpit, lies a small water play area, activated by the adjacent log seesaw so be sure to bring bathers or a change of clothes!

Mamma's special mention:
Of course you can’t go past Brighton Beach for some more fun; but there’s also Dendy Park playground if you want to keep the playtime going.
