Cosygrove Playground

If you’ve got a toddler and you just want somewhere calm without the chaos of a bigger park, this little spot in Evatt does the job well. The climbing structure and swings are scaled right for small kids — nothing too intimidating — and the whole place has a relaxed feel that parents actually appreciate. It’s set close to the creek, so after playtime you can wander the walking path along the old river, which is genuinely lovely. A few benches mean you’re not standing around the whole time. It’s quiet, it’s safe, and the locals with young ones tend to come back regularly for a reason.
