๐Ÿ† 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.

โฐDrinking water and rubbish bins are provided on-site
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธToilet facilities are adjacent to the playground - queues form at peak weekend times
๐Ÿš—The bird hide overlooking the wetlands is worth visiting with curious kids

โ€œLots 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€

โ€œHigh quality playground in Kew where the curators have put tremendous thought into building a fun and inclusive space. Very well shaded with lot of bush and parkland surrounding the playground and fun setup of climbing structures, swings, hammocks, sandpit, water pump and more.โ€
