Baird Reserve Playground

Honestly, if you’ve got a toddler, this little fenced playground in Matraville does exactly what you need it to do. It’s small, which is actually a plus — you’re not chasing a two-year-old across half a suburb. The enclosed area means you can actually relax for five minutes while the kids do their thing. Nothing flashy, but it’s well-kept and the rubber flooring makes tumbles a lot less dramatic. A solid go-to for local families with little ones.
