Kotara Park

Small but honestly solid for the littlies — the playground covers the basics with a slide and swings, which is all you really need when your kid is under five anyway. The big open grass field is where this place really earns its keep, great for dogs doing zoomies or just spreading out a picnic rug on a weekend morning. Toilets and parking are right there, which anyone with toddlers knows is half the battle. The tennis courts nearby get decent lighting too, so it’s not a bad spot if you want to hit a few balls while the kids wear themselves out. Quiet street, Marsfield locals mostly — don’t expect it to be packed.
