Playground – Charles Cane / Parndo Yerta Reserve

If you’ve got a toddler and you’re tired of chasing them toward the road, this one’s genuinely worth the trip to Prospect. The whole area is enclosed — proper fencing on the road side and netting near the oval — so you can actually sit down for five minutes without your heart rate spiking. It’s a modern setup that’s been thought through for the little ones specifically, not just a token swing and a slide. Pack a lunch too, because there’s a BBQ area, picnic tables, and toilets right there, which makes a real afternoon of it pretty easy.
