Collaroy Beach Playground

Right on the sand at Collaroy, this one’s hard to beat for a lazy weekend with kids. You’ve got the beach literally metres away, so the usual “I’m bored” problem sorts itself out pretty quickly. It’s the kind of spot where you park up, the kids run off, and you actually get five minutes to breathe. Honestly, combining a playground stop with a beach day at Collaroy just makes sense — Northern Beaches locals have been doing it for years.
