The Lady Nelson – Playground

If your kid is past the toddler stage and needs something with a bit of a challenge, this Red Hill spot delivers. The tunnel slide is genuinely fast — steep enough that older kids actually get excited about it — and the rope play tower has enough going on (vertical climbing tunnel, rope bridge, open platform) to keep them busy for a while. There’s also a nature play area with a rock stepping course around a tree, which sounds low-key but kids seem to love it. Parents get decent sightlines across the whole setup, picnic tables, and some solid shade, so you’re not standing in the sun slowly losing your mind. Parking’s easy too, which honestly counts for a lot.
