Woodland Picnic Area

This is a gem of a playground. Situated in the heart of the Cranbourne Royal Botanic Gardens, it is worth the 500m walk to get to. There are paths weaving around the bushland, and this picnic area can be accessed from a couple of different directions.

There are plenty of covered barbecues, nice toilets, a wheelchair-accessible drinking bubbler and the most beautiful outlook onto the bushlands.

The playground itself is set on sand and rubber turf. The sand is that beautiful, white, un-spoiled type of sand - very rare! Also that shows that the playground is relatively new. There are whirlygigs, spring riders, swings, a great unit for toddlers and the grand structure of a double-pyramid rope-climber.
