We really thought we'd seen it all. But no, we hadn't! Livvi's Place inclusive playspaces keep raising the bar and Craigieburn locals are the latest lucky ones.
This beautifully designed playground actually looks like a sculpture park. The play elements are all gorgeous and invite you to touch and twirl and bong and slide and swing.
We love the polished concrete slides, which won't get as hot as metal or plastic. We loved the neat, new swings. We loved the water pump where the kids got creative in working out how to build up the pressure in the pump until it exploded all over them! And we really loved the wacky animal talking tubes.
There are musical elements dotted all through the park including an Australia-shaped xylophone, organ-type pipes that vibrate as well as make fabulous "bonging" sounds, and deck bells to stomp on, on your way to the tunnel.
There is a beautiful sculpted friendship chair than invites you to sit on it and talk to someone new. But look behind the chair and there are slot-car tracks curving through the rocks! Super, super cool.
The cubby is awesome, the rope climber is amazing, the dry creek bed with logs drawing you through is lovely.
And as always, since this is a Livvi's Place, there are toilets (changing places), it is fully fenced (in fact double gated), there are chairs, tables and BBQ and the beautiful tile wall as painted by local kids.
I've just about run out of adjectives, so I'll stop now. Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this fabulous creation to life.

Brand new playground! Large playground with interactive equipment, water features, climbing obstacles suitable for 3 years plus. Some shaded seating areas, situated next to the beach and riding track. Great views too. Not so much for babies or toddlers but a great place for families.
This is a huge playground and suitable for everyone - my kids loved it! For the big kids it has a huge structure that must be climbed to reach the top of the huge twisting slide. There are also some challenging ropes to negotiate. For the little ones there are some smaller play structures and sand play (though the sand is very coarse) over near the hand pump that flows to a water splash table. Over in the main area the spinning water sprayer is only activated by the see-saw which encourages great teamwork. The marine elements are sculptural and beautiful and the landscape is lovely too. Our only disappointment was the parking - we visited early on a warm Monday morning and had the playground completely to ourselves... but not one single carpark (of over 60) was free - I think the local port workers may use the area and council need to find a solution for this.

Good enough when the other one is temporarily closed for upgrade. For preschoolers and older children, mainly, with a back support swing.

Long overdue major attraction playground along the Goolwa Channel. Contains plenty of natural elements - wood, sand, water and metal - with equipment and play areas for all ages. Fantastic landscaping and plenty of amenities for picnicking. Lots of adjacent carpaking and close to a cafe. Not much shade now, but that will improve as the large number of trees mature.
Boat is a highlight as are the many wooden climbing features and sand & water play.
Range of equipment to suit the most agile to sensory experiences for the less mobile. Sand water music stations and of course the boat that features in most photos of the park. Not the average set standard gear far more interesting and challenging. If windy it could be a bit blustery for lil ones.

The free-to-access Adventure Playground is set within Marsupial Park and although the play equipment is basic (there are plans to expand this soon), there is also a shaded sandpit with implements provided, a range of chess boards, free BBQs, heaps of picnic tables, and kangaroos roaming freely. There is a 300m path from the car park suitable for strollers. The Park is maintained by volunteers for the community.
This playground has everything for all children. Its a playground wonderland, clever and unique art work throughout the playground that will give all children a sensory and visual experience like no other playground anywhere. There are slides, flying foxes, swings, cubby houses, a castle, a tree house, spinning components, see saws, even a library for children who like a space to read. The playground is set amongst one of the most beautiful natural settings in western NSW all only 2 kms from the CBD of Tamworth.

Second time on a hot day we’ve been here and the water features aren’t working. Slides are made of metal so the kids can’t slide on them on a hot day as they are super hot!

Two baby and two big kid swings. Two slides off a small climbing fort. A see-saw. Rubber under the equipment, otherwise wood chips. A few park benches and large trees provide shade around the playground. Next to a large playing field with lots of room to run around.
Very recently updated this playground now has beautiful bright timber structures all surrounded by a mini bike track. There is also a dry creek bed and a huge rope climb pyramid. No toilets or bbq, just a lovely simple local park.
