Rowland Street Playground

Fully fenced with a proper safety gate, this one’s a go-to for anyone with toddlers who can’t be trusted near an open exit — and honestly, most of us in MacGregor know exactly what that’s like. The spider nest swing is a genuine hit with the little ones, and the springers keep them busy when the bigger equipment feels like too much. Shade trees do a decent job of keeping things cool, which matters more than people think on a harsh ACT summer day. It’s a calm, low-key spot that suits the under-5 crowd way better than some of the flashier playgrounds around.
