The Canopy Playground

If you’re local to Lane Cove, you already know this one’s a solid go-to. The sandbox and water feature keep kids — toddlers especially — genuinely occupied for way longer than you’d expect from an urban playground. It’s the kind of setup that actually thinks about sensory play rather than just throwing in some swings and calling it a day. Being right near the shops means you can grab a coffee while the kids do their thing, which honestly makes all the difference on a weekday morning.
