Gordon Reserve Playground

Small but tidy, this little setup in Albert Park does the job well for toddlers and younger kids who just need somewhere to burn off some energy. It’s the kind of spot locals duck into for a quick half-hour rather than a big day out. There’s seating for parents and a water tap on hand, which honestly makes all the difference when you’ve got thirsty little ones. Don’t expect anything sprawling — it’s a mini playground, but it’s kept in good nick.
