Playground River Road Reserve

Right on the water at Shoalhaven Heads, this little reserve is one of those spots locals quietly love without making too much fuss about it. The riverfront setting does most of the heavy lifting — there’s something genuinely relaxing about being right alongside the Shoalhaven River with the kids in tow. It’s wheelchair accessible, which makes it a solid option for families who need that. You’re also a short walk from the Bird Watching Area if anyone in your group is into that, and there are a few places nearby to grab a bite after.
