Playground

One of those spots in Allenby Gardens that locals quietly keep to themselves. The fenced play area is a genuine relief if you’ve got little ones who bolt — you can actually sit down at the picnic tables without being on high alert the whole time. Shade trees do a solid job keeping things bearable through summer, which matters more than people realise when you’re stuck watching back-to-back games on the basketball court. Chuck some snags on the BBQ, send the older kids to shoot hoops, and the little ones are contained and happy — it just works.
