1 / 3Blaxland Riverside Park
📍 Sydney Olympic Park, NSW
Sydney largest playground at Sydney Olympic Park featuring double flying fox, mega-swing, tunnel slides, scramble wall, Viking swing, and multi-level tree house. Outdoor water play area operates daily with seasonal hours.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for active families with primary school-age children who want sustained physical play. The flying fox and mega-swing are the drawcards for kids aged 5–12, and the water play adds a second activity without leaving the park. Bring sun protection — shade is sparse across most of the playground.

“I absolutely loved visiting Blaxland Riverside Park. I felt that the park catered well for everyone. There are walking and running tracks as well as picnic spots for adults and a large playground for kids. The playground has many different types of equipment and a lot to do. It is well maintained, very clean and modern. The park is very well planned out, has ample shade and amenities as well as a good mix of nature and buildings. The park is easy to get to as well. I would highly recommend visiting here!”

“Such a large amazing space, plenty of things for the kids to do. Overall the kids had such a great time. My only suggestion would be to have more undercovers areas as there is obviously a lot of people that go to this park.”
