Pirie Street Calisthenics Park and Play Area

One of those spots that genuinely works for the whole family — kids head straight for the slides and climbing structure while adults get stuck into the calisthenics bars without anyone having to compromise. The rubber flooring around the play area is a nice touch, especially if you’ve got little ones still finding their feet. Shade trees keep things comfortable on warmer days, and there’s parking right there which, honestly, matters more than people admit. What really sets it apart is the direct access to Mount Victoria’s trails — you can knock out a workout, let the kids run wild, then disappear into the forest for a proper walk without moving the car.
