Kids on the western side of Lake Macquarie, have been gifted an awesome new playground in Cooranbong. Not far from the Elephant Shop, this new playground is the talk of the town. One of the most picturesque settings, the playground is surrounded by gorgeous trees, creating a harmonious blend of nature and fun. Make sure you add the new Cooranbong Reserve Playground to your list of places to take the kids.
Directions to Cooranbong Reserve Playground
You’ll find this new playground on Freemans Drive, just past the Elephant shop. Complete with its own designated parking area, BBQ facilities, bubblers, make-shift toilets (we’re assuming they’re yet to be built), and plenty of seating and space to lay a rug. 3 sides of this playground are fenced and gated, protecting little kids from both traffic and water.
Playground inclusions
The playground is nestled into the natural environment with sandstone blocks, woodlike art, and seating, as well as soft woodchip underfoot. We loved the winding scooter track, complete with stop/giveaway signs, as well as traffic lights displayed along the way. Kids will also love exploring the tall climbing net, swings, carousel, wood boat, water play, lazing hammock and sky tower.
Everything from a giant enclosed slide, to water play and loads of space to run around. It definitely ticks all the boxes for kids and of course parents too! While you’re in Cooranbong make sure you stop by the Elephant Shop and take the kids to experience the famous swing bridge. They are both a ‘must-see’ in Cooranbong while you’re here.
Cooranbong swing bridge & Elephant Shop
The Cooranbong swing bridge has loads of history and charm. Hidden at the back of the old Sanitarium factory, the bridge was designed by the manager of the factory. Its sole purpose was for the workers to easily get to and from work each day.
