Lyne Park Playground

Rose Bay locals know this one’s worth the trip — the zipline alone makes it a hit with kids of pretty much any age, and the water feature keeps the little ones busy on warmer days. It’s right on the waterfront, so while the kids are tearing around the climbing structure or waiting their turn on the slides, you’ve got a pretty decent view to enjoy from the shaded seating. The shade trees do a solid job, and the benches are actually positioned well for keeping an eye on things without chasing anyone down. The open grass and walking path give you somewhere to decompress after the playground chaos. A genuinely good setup for a full afternoon out.
