Coogee Beach Playground

We came here one gorgeously sunny Autumn afternoon; two 3year-​olds, an 18 month old and by the end of it, two pretty ragged mothers.
The playground is seriously well-​equipped and in one of the best location in NSW I reckon. The 3 year-​olds had a ball. There’s so much to climb and explore for them: Tunnels, climbing frames, the surrounding parkland, the toilets, oh hang on a minute… where’s he gone. This is the parks major problem. It isn’t at all contained. Yes, I know we should be watching them but honestly, playgrounds are a little bit about mums catching up too.
Good shaded areas for picnics but no shade over the equipment which makes it a no-​no in summer. Free on-​street parking for 2 hours which is a bonus and toilets. So no more hopping around for parents as they enviously watch their kids pee against trees.
We’d go back again but really it caters for older pre-​school kids not exploring toddlers. Lots to fall and stumble over.
Lovely spot though.
