Royal Park Nature Play Playground, Melbourne

Absolutely amazing spot, we could have spent all day here. Creative and interesting equipment encouraging children to use their imagination and problem solve, right down to the different paths and access points between areas. Our one year old (not yet walking) was the youngest playing, and so many parents were getting involved too which was great. The big hill was perfect for rolling down, which the 3 year old loved, and we also went on a big walk/bike ride around the park. The pump/waterfall and sandpit combo were a favourite. We were there on a cool day but I can imagine shade would be an issue on warm days. Definitely recommend.

Taking my two and a half year old daughter to Royal Park Nature playground is a treat not only for kids but also adults trying to keep up. Sections are challenging, child user friendly options are enlightening. The water fall, dam, and combination sandpit are so much fun. The top of the hill is an ascension that rewards a panorama view of the beauty of Melbourne. Go and find your inner child here, as kids of all sizes young and old will find this place, stimulating, adventure full, and so much fun.
