Hilliards Creek Platypus Corridor Playground

One of those spots that genuinely feels like a find — it sits right along the Hilliards Creek corridor where you’ve actually got a chance of spotting a platypus if you time your visit right. The natural surroundings do a lot of the heavy lifting here, and the accessible design means it’s genuinely usable for kids of all abilities, not just an afterthought. Ormiston locals tend to know about it, but it stays pretty quiet, which is honestly the appeal. Pair it with a walk along the trails and you’ve got a solid half-morning sorted.
