Brookvale Park Playground

If you’ve got a toddler who bolts the second their feet hit the grass, you’ll appreciate that this one’s fully gated. It’s a smaller setup over near Brookvale Oval, but don’t let that put you off — there’s a decent variety of equipment packed in, and it’s kept in genuinely good nick. The enclosed design means you can actually relax for five minutes without doing the full-panic scan every thirty seconds. Best suited to the under-5 crowd, and honestly, for that age group it ticks most of the boxes.
