Tunks Park Playground

Locals know Tunks Park is one of those spots that just works for a full family day out — fenced play area for the little ones, BBQ and picnic tables when you’re ready to eat, and enough open grass that kids can properly run themselves out. The slides and swings keep the under-8 crowd busy while parents actually get to sit down for five minutes. There’s a pond nearby and the walking paths connect straight into the bushland trails, so it doubles as a decent spot to stretch your legs. Dogs are everywhere on weekends, which adds to the relaxed vibe. Parking’s available too, which makes the whole thing a lot less stressful than it could be.
