Emerald Lakes Playground

Right on the edge of the lake in Carrara, this one’s more about the setting than the equipment. The views across the water are genuinely lovely, and the walking path makes it easy to do a lap or two while the kids run around. It’s a pretty low-key spot — don’t expect a ton of play features or any toilets, so plan ahead. That said, for a casual afternoon out near home, it does the job nicely.
