Hill playground

Fadden locals with little ones know this spot well — it’s small, quiet, and does exactly what you need for toddlers and preschoolers. The swings have both standard and bucket seats, so even the youngest kids are sorted, and the wombat spring seesaw is always a hit with the under-fives crowd. Shade trees do a decent job of keeping things cool, which you’ll appreciate on a Canberra summer afternoon. The footpath running past makes it easy to roll a pram in and loop back around for a walk while the kids burn some energy.
