Gollan Street Isla Playground

One of those older-style setups that doesn’t try too hard — just a solid climbing structure, a metal slide, and swings that actually get used. The real selling point here is the tree cover, which makes a genuine difference on a hot Canberra day. There’s a bench facing the equipment so you can keep an eye on the kids without standing the whole time. Nothing flashy, but it does the job and the shade alone puts it ahead of a lot of newer parks around Evatt.
