Blue Range Playground

Stirling locals know this one’s a solid pick for keeping the kids entertained after school or on weekends. The jungle gym is the main drawcard — decent climbing structure, a couple of slides, and a tire swing that never seems to lose its appeal no matter how many times the kids use it. It’s well-shaded by established trees, which makes a real difference on hot Canberra days when other playgrounds turn into sun-baked nightmares. Benches are dotted around, so parents can actually sit down instead of hovering. Good for anyone with kids roughly between 2 and 12, though the younger ones especially seem to love it.
