Ellen Clark Playground

If you’ve got a toddler in Weetangera, this little park punches above its weight. The play train is genuinely the star of the show — kids lose their minds for it — alongside the swings and slide that keep the littlies busy without overwhelming them. The shade trees do actual work here on hot Canberra days, which any local parent will tell you is non-negotiable. There’s a loop path that’s great for wobbly first bikes or scooters, plus plenty of open grass for kids who just need to run. It’s a small park with a bit of history attached to it, and honestly that makes it feel more like a proper neighbourhood spot than just another cookie-cutter setup.
