Coombs Local Playground

Locals in Coombs know this one’s worth a stop — the seesaw here isn’t your standard plank-on-a-pivot, and the climbing structure gives kids something to actually figure out. Slides and swings cover the basics, but there’s enough going on to keep imaginative kids busy for a solid stretch. The shade trees do real work on hot Canberra days, and the sheltered seating means parents aren’t just standing around squinting. Pack lunch, because the picnic tables and the open grass field make it an easy half-day if you want it to be.
