Burdekin Street Playground

If you’ve got a toddler in tow, this little Duffy spot does the job without any fuss. The play structure is sized just right for little ones — nothing too intimidating — and the bucket seat swing is genuinely one of those features parents appreciate more than the kids do. Shade trees keep things bearable on hot Canberra days, and there’s a bench so you’re not just hovering awkwardly. It’s not going to win any awards, but for under-threes in the neighbourhood, it’s exactly what you need close to home.
