Overlooking our beautiful Lake is Warners Bay playground which has been beautifully landscaped with two separate areas for play. This playground remains a favourite for local families and seasonal visitors. An abundance of convenient street parking and a car park on John Street, just behind the park, makes it an easy place to visit. While you’re here why not wander into Warners Bay to enjoy lunch or a coffee and grab your groceries?
Toddlers play
The play area closest to Lake Road caters for younger children. There’s soft foam flooring underneath the play equipment in case your child has a tumble. Their imagination will take them in the little red boat on the high seas. A roundabout, baby swing and small slide will provoke a sense of adventure. Don’t forget to bring chalk so your little one can add their artistic flair to the playground chalkboard.
Who’s the king of the castle?
On the other side of the park is a larger play area for older kids. Underneath the play equipment is woodchips to soften any fall. A climbing structure includes nets, a small bridge, a fireman’s pole, and two slides of varying heights for the kids to play on. Your child can climb up and feel like they’re the King of the Castle!
A large round swing that seats several children is always a favourite. The kids can swing for hours on one of six swings. These include two toddler seats and a twin swing that two kids can enjoy together. Kids also love the climbing net, which is perfect for encouraging fine motor skills.
Access, picnic tables & toilets
There are three ways you can enter the playground. Through the security gate on Lake Road, on The Esplanade, or from the car park on John Street. This park is fully fenced. A safer environment for kids of all ages, especially the little ones.
You’ll find undercover picnic tables inside the fenced area to park a stroller in the shade and have your morning tea.
Toilets are conveniently located in the playground and there’s a nice grassed area for young children to run around.
Warners Bay & beyond
Once you’ve finished your play at Warners Bay playground, head over the road to Warners Bay foreshore for a bike ride, scooter, or stroll along the lake. Maybe go for a walk out on the jetty, or spot statues scattered around the foreshore. There’s even a ping pong table!
If your kids like a little more adventure, plan a visit further along the lake at Speers Point Park. With so much on offer, it’s definitely another must-visit destination for kids. Discover more of Lake Macquarie in our Out & About section.
