Hubberston & Hakin Play Park

If you’re local to Hubberston or Hakin, you already know this park punches well above its weight for an urban spot. There’s a solid mix of equipment — slides, swings, a climbing frame, and a zipline that the older kids absolutely love — plus a skate park that draws its own crowd. The whole place is enclosed, which makes it genuinely easier to keep an eye on younger ones while you grab a bench or set up at a picnic table. Basketball court and a football pitch mean there’s something for kids who’ve outgrown the play equipment too, and the open grass gives everyone room to just run around. It’s community-run and it shows — the place is kept up properly, which isn’t something you can say about every park in the area.
