This is a decent sized reserve area in Northcote, accessible via Queen Street. The children playground has been recently upgraded and has a lot of swings and areas to keep them busy for a couple hours. On street parking is available here. Decent and well maintained toilets is available here. There is always less crowd here, since the location is not that popular except for locals. Half sized basket ball court is also available here. Well recommended overall.

Great toddler playground. But today, discovered the sandpit smelt like animal/dog Poo - not everywhere, just where the kids would be scooping sand. I am leaving this here for future visitors with kids. I will be contacting council to inform …

Super nice local playground, freshly renovated, with new and interesting equipment, and a fully fenced play space. I was genuinely surprised by this playground, it has so much to offer, even has its own toilet and also a miniature half basketball court. It is in a fairly quite area but it gets super packed. Great if your kids love to social.

Love this playground. It's got shade and fake grass so nice on crawling knees. It's also got a sand area and gardens with stepping stones. It's gated so safe to let little ones run around without having to worry.
