From the surfboard flying fox to the wave-shaped climbing net, Webb Park Playground captures Redhead’s beach culture perfectly. You’ll love the unique design and thought which has gone into this playground. Redhead is one of our favourite local haunts for families with the beach, this unique playground, Owens walk, and visiting the ducks.
Flying fox surfboard
The kids will love the flying fox with its surfboard take-off platform and the free ride down to the end. It’s not too high or long, so it’s okay for thrill-seeking younger kids to have a go, as long as you help them get on and bring it back. Like most flying foxes, kids have to hold tight because, at the end, it bounces back. Short rides equals more turns, so all the kids can enjoy this ride.
Wave climbing net & spring surfboard
This climbing net is awesome. The kids can climb it from the back or the front. There’s a sliding mat built into the front of the wave so they can come down faster if they wish. Underneath the wave is a surfboard for kids to pretend and ride the wave. There’s also a freestanding surfboard on a spring to test their balancing skills and get a feel for riding a surfboard.
For the younger kids
Kids can climb, slide and explore on the playground fort. I love how this playground has something for everyone. The younger kids can also ride a dolphin and enjoy the swings. There’s a stone surround that goes all the way around the playground edge. We loved watching the younger kids balance their way around playing follow the leader.
Webb Park facilities
Complete with picnic tables, a BBQ area and toilets this playground caters for a large gathering or a family picnic.
There’s plenty of grassed areas around the playground for the kids to run and play. If your kids love to kick a soccer ball or throw a Frisbee, make sure you bring them along.
Getting to Webb Park Playground
Webb Park Playground is located on Beach Road at Redhead. The playground is visible from the road and in proximity to the surf clubhouse. You’ve got two options to get to Redhead. You can come in from Belmont North end, or from Whitebridge/Dudley side. There’s a dedicated car park for this playground and you can easily park on the road if that’s full.
Redhead’s beachside exploring
If you’re up for a family morning out, the Owens Walkway and visiting the duck pond is a must for kids. Enjoy the flat pram-friendly boardwalk that weaves its way parallel to the beach. You’ll find direct access from the playground and follow the walkway to the duck pond in the Belmont/Redhead wetlands. Read all about it here: See the ducks on Owens Walk Redhead
Redhead Pump Track
If you’ve got kids that love to ride, pop the bikes in the car and have a ride at the Redhead Pump Track. With twists, turns, rises and falls this pump track runs for 150 meters and is very popular with the kids and adults.
Head down to the beach, enjoy a walk, or swim in the warm weather. This is a lovely place to visit with kids.
