Kids love the inclusions at the Tingara Heights Playground

We love discovering playgrounds, and the Tingara Heights Playground has some fun inclusions. It’s a small playground, however, what it lacks in size it makes up for with equipment. If you find yourself on Violet Town Road, stop by next time and let the kids enjoy a new experience. It’s well worth it. How to […]

Marks Oval Playground gets an upgrade and the kids love it!

This playground looks and feels different from a standard playground in Lake Macquarie. Built from a wood ‘look-a-like’ structure, it blends into the surroundings and natural landscape. It was interesting to hear the kids comment on its unique character as well, that’s why Marks Oval Playground is worth the visit. Getting to Marks Oval Playground […]

Taylor Park at Barnsley offers so much more for kids!

Nestled among the trees in Taylor Park, is Barnsley’s playground complex. The abundance of space surrounding a multi-sectioned play zone will be the first thing you notice. As soon as our kids caught sight of the playground inclusions, they couldn’t wait to get out of the car. This complex has something for kids of all […]

Have you been to Blacksmiths Playground?

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 […]

There is plenty to see, from the viewing platforms to the shaded pathway leading to the local wetlands. These wetlands cross over through Belmont & Redhead. This walk is perfect to explore the local area with the […]
