Pirrama Park Playground

Right on the water’s edge in Pyrmont, this spot gets busy on weekends for good reason. The harbour views alone make it worth the trip, but families tend to stick around because there’s actual space to spread out and the BBQ area means you can make a proper afternoon of it. It’s the kind of place where kids can run around while the adults actually relax for once. If you’re coming from the city side, the walk along the foreshore to get here is half the appeal.
