Project Playgrounds

If you’re after somewhere in Banksmeadow that actually keeps the kids busy for more than ten minutes, this one delivers. The water feature is the real drawcard — on a hot Sydney afternoon, the little ones won’t want to leave. There’s a solid mix of slides, swings, climbing gear, and a sandbox, so kids from toddlers right up to ten-year-olds have something to get stuck into. The whole area is enclosed, which makes a genuine difference when you’ve got runners who bolt the second your back is turned, and the shade trees and covered seating mean you’re not baking while you wait them out. Restrooms, picnic tables, and a grassy open field round it out — it’s a proper family spot, not an afterthought.
