Nostalgia trip! Love that the giraffe is still here from when I was a kid in the 80s. The wider walking area in the Richmond foothills is beautiful.
Easby Park Playground
20 Marlborough Crescent, Richmond 7020
Why these ages?
Infant swing, spring toys, glider and see-saws suit toddlers with grassed open space and car park adjacent. No fencing so has-toddler-zone. Marlborough Crescent quiet suburban context. MTB trailhead and Reservoir Creek track extend appeal for older kids and tweens who want to venture beyond fixed equipment.
Access notes
Description states the existing equipment sits on bark surfacing, a clear barrier for wheelchair users, and while a new inclusive accessible playground is jointly funded for this site, it is not yet built so cannot be scored today.
What's here
Easby Park Playground is a compact neighbourhood playground in Richmond, framed by grassed open space and established trees, and doubling as a trailhead for the Richmond Hills walking and mountain biking network just behind it.
