Linear Park Windsor Grove Playground

If you’re after somewhere genuinely quiet with a toddler in tow, this little corner of Windsor Gardens delivers. The enclosed play area keeps the littlies contained while you actually get to breathe for a minute — and with BBQ facilities, picnic tables, and toilets all on site, you can make a proper afternoon of it. The bike track and walking path run alongside, so older kids or cycling-mad partners won’t be bored either. Backing onto trails near the pond, the birdlife here is legitimately good — you’ll hear it before you see it. Locals know this one, tourists don’t, which is exactly why it stays so peaceful.
