Amaroo Playground

Right by Yerrabi Pond, this little spot is a solid pick if you’ve got toddlers or kids under seven in tow. The setup is pretty straightforward — slides, swings, a seesaw, and a tunnel — nothing fancy, but exactly what that age group actually wants. The mature trees do a decent job of keeping things shaded, which you’ll appreciate on a hot Canberra afternoon. It’s easy to roll up to via the bike path, so if you’re doing a family ride around the pond, this makes a natural stopping point.
