Awesome park that is completely fenced. Lots to do and explore: love all the ramps and wooden slide. Kids had a blast. Nice open grass area too. Also paths leading to bush walks nearby. See parksandadventuresofsydney on instagram for more!

My favourite park in Lane Cove to visit with my toddler. The equipment is suitable for all ages (some supervision needed for toddlers in high places), fenced in, great swings, and the ground is covered in rubber so it’s perfect even for pre-walkers. Good coffee shop, bbq facilities and other play sections too. Watch out for bush turkeys.

Amazing, multi-faceted playground. Highly recommended for children of all ages. It can get very busy in the main playground. There is also the “geriatric” equipment, a basketball / footsal court and some additional wooden equipment on the lower level. Be warned, parking can be a bit of a nightmare (but no worse than a beach on a mildly popular day).

A very well-maintained playground. A lot of different equipment that interconnect, allowing kids of varying ages to have fun. Soft ground cover is available. Bathrooms and taps onsite, albeit not that clean. Has a decently sized open grass area, ball court, and rope/obstacle course adjacent. There is also a nice and short bushwalking trail that links up.
