1 / 3Wattle Park Tram Playground
đ Surrey Hills, VIC
Reimagined playground in Surrey Hills built around Melbourne's tram heritage, featuring a central tram-themed climbing and slide structure, water feature, sandpit, swings, cubbies, and BBQ facilities.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want a longer outing combining active play with the broader Wattle Park grounds â walking trails, picnic areas, and open grassland extend the day well past the playground itself. The tram theme resonates with Melbourne-proud families and primary-age children. The water play zone is a drawcard on warm days.

âThe playground is spacious with multiple zones, including play equipment, a sandbox, low wooden platforms, and a climbing frame. There are also cute animal carvings made of wood. Additionally, there's a bike lane that spirals up to the top of the play structure. The stairs leading up are covered with soft rubber bits, so if a child falls, it would cushion the impact better than a hard surface. The entire area is designed with a tram theme.â

âHaving known the old playground well, the newly built/refurbished/reimaigined space is well thought out and a work of art. There is a central tram themed playground with slides and climbing that is surrounded by little feature hubs including a water feature, sandpit, swings and cubbies. Lot's of benches and the standard bbq facilities. Grass is coming in nicely as well. A great space. Hopefully the tram restorations happen to ice the cake.â

âYay!!! I wanted to check out this playground with my daughter after a long time, hoping that the trams would finally be fixed and alas, one tram has been restored and the other is being fixed as we speak!!! Yay!!! Def nice to not see fences and red construction tape and the ability to get on and drive the tram!!! And the water play works too! Perfect time for summer coming up!â

Overview
Wattle Park Tram Playground was rebuilt as a multi-zone space anchored by a tram-themed central structure with slides and climbing. Surrounding feature hubs include a working water play area, sandpit, swings, and cubbies. The bike lane spirals to the top of the main structure, and stairs are rubber-cushioned. BBQ hotplates and benches are on-site, with mature park grounds offering grass and shade beyond the play zone.
