The Esplanade and Anderson Street Playground

Right on the Esplanade with Front Beach basically at your feet, this is the kind of spot where the kids disappear for an hour while you watch the surf. It’s wheelchair accessible, which makes it genuinely usable for everyone rather than just technically compliant. Honestly, the location does a lot of the heavy lifting — you’re steps from the water, and that alone makes any playground better. A solid go-to if you’re already doing a beach day in Torquay.
