Parsonage Road Reserve Playground

If you’ve got a toddler in tow, this little Woodend spot is worth knowing about. The bike track makes it genuinely useful — kids can loop around on their scooters without you stressing about traffic, which is a relief. It’s low-key and relaxed, the kind of place that works well for the under-threes crowd rather than older kids looking for something more adventurous. Grandparents seem to rate it highly too, probably because it’s manageable and easy to keep an eye on little ones.
