Fully fenced all-abilities playground in Kew East with multi-level ramps, climbing walls, rope bridges, six swings including harness options, water play, large sandpit, percussion pipes, spinning carousel, outdoor gym, and BBQs.
๐ Family Action Verdict
One of Melbourne's most thoughtfully designed inclusive playgrounds, covering toddlers through older primary school kids in a single secure space. The harness swings and ramp access make it genuinely usable for children with physical disabilities, not just nominally accessible. Excellent shade coverage across the site.

โLots of shade and the kids loves the playground. It is great to see special swings for children with disabilities. Lovely place for fun with the kids. One suggestion would be to have more than 3 toilets next to the playground and there was one today which wouldn't open. So there were some queues.โ
