Why these ages?

Ship-themed playground on sand surface with basket + infant swings, embankment slide, sand play area, climbing net, balance beams. Shade sails cover main equipment. But Milford Beach and calm-water inlet are directly adjacent, and Craig Road angle parking runs along the reserve edge. Reviews confirm 'kids love climbing the rocks by the inlet and running across the reserve' - constant supervision needed for toddlers.

Always super busy on a nice day. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the reserve, the park and the shade of the big beautiful trees. Nice toilets and great beach across the carpark which is always busy. Sometime you can fund Mr Whippy in the carpark which is an added bonus.

A tidy neat with versatile layout. Making it perfect for the perfect outing. Baketball hoop, volleyball pit, children's playground, ample open ground for running or ball activities. Ample shaded areas for picnic's, with easy access to the beach.

Lovely playground by the beach for younger kids. They have a volley ball and half basketball court 🏀. A grill BBQ nearby and a large area of green and trees to play around. The changing room and toilet is renovating at the moment. Certainly a must go in summer …

Great for dog walking. Long stretches of sand. Dogs can safely be walked off leash. Good facilities at the Milford Reserve. And friendly locals.

The playground is popular almost anytime of the year but especially in the Summer and when the days are sunny. Parking can be an issue but since the bridge was built connecting Beach road, you can park on that side too now and walk across the bridge. Kids love climbing the rocks by the inlet and running across the reserve.

So much rubbish on the ground. What a shame as the playground seems ok.

Great playground for the kids at a wonderful beach park. Plenty of grounds for picnics or gatherings. Clean bathrooms and changing rooms. The beach is excellent for walking or swimming.
