Cremorne Point Playground

Right on the harbour foreshore, this little playground punches well above its weight for such a quiet corner of the Lower North Shore. The equipment is modern and low to the ground, which makes it genuinely stress-free if you’ve got toddlers who like to wander. You get actual Sydney Harbour views while you sit there — not bad for a Tuesday morning. There’s a walking path looping around the point, public toilets on site, and open grass for kids who just want to run. Catch the ferry over and you’ve basically got a full half-day sorted.
