Meadowbank Park Regional Playground and Splash Pad

Locals know this one is worth the trip — the splash pad alone makes it a summer staple for families across the Inner West and beyond. Kids tear between the zipline, climbing structure, and slides while parents actually get to sit down in the shade and keep an eye on everything without losing their minds. The BBQ area and picnic tables mean you can make a proper afternoon of it, and the bike track keeps the older ones busy when they’ve worn out the playground gear. Restrooms are clean, parking is manageable, and the whole place is kept in genuinely good shape — not always a given in a park this popular. Suits all ages, from toddlers in the splash pad to kids who think they’re too cool for playgrounds until they spot the zipline.
