Lion Street Playground

Tiny but handy, this little fenced pocket park on Lion Street is exactly what you want when you’ve got a toddler who needs to burn some energy without you stressing about them bolting onto the road. It’s genuinely secure, which matters a lot in an urban spot like Croydon. There’s even a basketball court if you’ve got older kids or teens in tow. Don’t expect a massive setup — it’s small and that’s kind of the point. Perfect for a quick after-daycare visit with the under-fives crowd.
