St Kilda Playground

Locals around Kaniera Terrace know this one well — it’s a solid community playground that doesn’t overthink itself. The accessibility angle is genuine here, which matters when you’re looking for somewhere the whole crew can actually use without hassle. St Kilda Café & Bistro is right nearby, so the grown-ups aren’t exactly suffering while the kids do their thing. Tack on a wander through St Kilda Nature Reserve and you’ve got yourself a decent half-day without going far at all.
