Penfold Park

This playground seems a little disjointed. There’s a very small toddler playground near the tennis courts and a larger playground under shade cloth that is designed for older children.
There’s a rotunda area that you could set up with table and chairs although there is a table/​chair in the sun just outside of the rotunda. There is also a BBQ in that same area. There is a lot of space here so if you brought bikes, they would definitely get some use, although the area is quite hilly so little ones might need to be supervised.
The shaded playground is a great set up. There’s a lot of different equipment for older children and would suit Primary School aged children. In my view, it’s a shame the two playgrounds aren’t closer together, at least on the same hill.
There are toilets at the beginning of the park… not too far for little children to walk but it is right next to the car park. I’m not sure what Burnside Council has against putting in drinking fountains, but here’s another playground without one.
