Hidden amongst shady trees near spectacular Blacksmiths Beach is a playground with everything. If you’re looking for a casual morning out, or need to grab some fresh coastal air plan a visit to Blacksmiths Playground. We loved the relaxed atmosphere, play equipment, and the proximity to the beach. After we checked out Blacksmiths Beach, the Breakwall, and Grannies Pool, we enjoyed chillin’ at the playground on a blanket. It’s the perfect place to stop and have some fun.
Getting to Blacksmiths Playground
On the Pacific Highway at Blacksmiths, turn at the traffic lights into Gommera Street and follow it through to the round-a-bout. You’ll see the car park straight ahead. The playground is on your right.
What’s at the playground?
The main castle has everything from a slide, wobble rope grab, monkey bars, and climbing walls. The kids will also find a fireman’s spiral pole, bridge, and toddler’s play area underneath. Additional equipment includes:
- Double swing (one for a toddler)
- Ride-on digger
- Wobbly surfboard
- Dual bounce seesaw
Toilets are located at the SLSC only a short walk across the carpark. There are bench seats on their own or tables with seating scattered around the playground. You’ll find plenty of grass to spread out a picnic rug.
Blacksmiths Beach, Grannies Pool & Breakwall
While you’re at Blacksmiths we highly recommend checking out more local attractions with the kids. Only a stone’s throw away is Grannies Pool, a protected tidal inlet that provides a safe swimming area for little ones. You can also walk out along the breakwall and enjoy the amazing views or swim at the beach.
