Rosary Place Playground

Small but solid, this little playground is one of those spots that the locals with toddlers tend to keep to themselves. It’s got the basics — slides and swings — on rubber flooring, which makes a real difference when you’ve got wobbly-legged under-5s in tow. The shade trees actually do their job on a sunny day, and you can see the whole place from the bench without having to hover. There’s a decent patch of grass alongside for burning off extra energy after the swings. Quiet street, calm atmosphere — it’s not flashy, but for small kids it’s exactly what you need.
