Nottingham Park Playground- Victoria


We were somewhat lost in the Uplands the other week and driving down Nottingham Road we passed a piece of green park with a postage-stamp of a playground smack dab right in the middle of it. It seemed so small that I actually burst out laughing and we HAD to get out for a quick play.

And a quick play it was! This playground is almost like an obstacle in an obstacle race rather than a place that one would linger with the kids. We raced out of the car, across the grass, up the climbing pods, onto the platform, up onto the higher platform, down the slide......then, after doing the whole thing once more we pegged it back to the car and continued on being lost in the highlands. A perfectly good pit stop and if you need a leg-stretch sometime you should try it.

Oh......for the record. This is a new, lovely little playground in a grassy park that is pretty much a field. You can park along Nottingham. The climbing structure has some climbing options, a double plastic slide and two levels of platform. This is all on gravelly sand.

  1. My parents live in the neighbourhood, we often walk to this park, my 5 and 2 year old have loved it as Nana's playground since birth, while its nothing special it does provide lots of running room!!!!
