Hmmmm, look at the photo...the sign says it all! This would have to be the worst playground I have…read moreseen in the City of Marion area. It is as run down and decrepit as the sign, it really is. There's a swing seat missing, so the chains just hang there like something out of a horror movie. The only pluses of this place is that the entire floor of the main equipment is rubber and there's shade built into the playground structure. This would NOT be a place I would want my child to play, especially seeing as there's SO many better playgrounds in the general area. It might mean getting in the car or getting on the bike, but it's better than here. City of Marion, this is DEFINITELY one playground that needs to be on your upgrade list!!

Another tribute to the City of Marion playgrounds! This is a wonderful, new playground suited for…read moremany age groups and abilities. There's a variety of equipment; everything from a spinning egg cup (Amanda terminology lol), a flying fox, a climbing frame, as well as the usual slides and swings. The whole playground is bark chipped although there seems to be rubber under the swings that has been covered up by bark chip. There's a sheltered table/chair area which came in great need seeing as it was bucketing down when I took the photo. There is also lots of room to kick a ball, run around or ride a bike. Unfortunately, there's no BBQ or drinking fountain or toilets but for a sleepy neighbourhood playground, this is anything but boring. *Dogs allowed* *No drinking fountain* *Sheltered table/chair*

I really wanted to give this fantastic space a five star rating because there is so much of it that…read moreis so right. There are tennis courts, adult fitness equipment, a fantastic playground for a wide range of ages, sheltered table/chair area AND BBQ! Unfortunately for you (but yay for the park and the people) there were people using the BBQ and table/chair area so I didn't get a photo of that but it's just in front of the playground, you might be able to see it in the background of some of those photos. I tried to see if there was a drinking fountain. I'm sure there would be one near the BBQ but I couldn't see it and didn't want to intrude to find out. This place had a really nice 'feel' to it too. Perhaps it was the people laughing at their uncoordinated tennis swings, or maybe it was the sight of a group of friends (rather than a family) gathered around the BBQ but I really liked this place. There's plenty of room to kick a ball if you want to work off the copious amounts of sausage-in-breads that you ate ;-) *Dogs allowed* *BBQ* *Sheltered table/chair* *Tennis courts*

This is a really pretty place to be and is worth three and a half stars. I just couldn't justify…read morerounding it up to four stars :-) The designers have done a great job of trying to fit as much equipment into the one space as possible. Even to the eye it looks more exciting than many of the playgrounds out there. There's also a good mix of equipment suiting a variety of age groups. It's such a shame Mitcham Council don't have drinking fountains at the majority of their playgrounds! Some shelter would be great here too, but alas, there's none. There are however, a couple of table/chairs dotted around the playground. *Dogs allowed (on leash)*

I'm really loving the changes the City of Marion are making to their local playgrounds. They are…read morestructures of fun, creativity and challenge and this is the case for this playground. I wish I had a playground like this when I was growing up! This is suitable for a wide range of ages and looks like a WHOLE lot of fun. I entered the playground from Eyre Street. I wouldn't recommend this if you are with little children. It's a bit of a walk and uphill. Entering from Davey Crescent looks like a better idea. There is a drinking fountain which works!! And there are bench seats but no sheltered table/chair areas. This is part of a much bigger reserve/park area and I'm unsure if there are toilets in another section. Well worth a look, a visit and a play...no matter how old we, I mean, the children are! ;-) *Dogs allowed* *Drinking fountain* *No shelter/shade*

I've stopped here to walk my puppy a few times. It's a nice enough spot, but like Amanda, if there…read moreare toilets here, I've got no idea where they are. The playground does look pretty awesome. Oh, to be eight years old again! It's a good little spot for a walk. I've really only been here to stretch my legs after a long drive, and to let the puppy out to have a bit of a play, but I reckon the place would be enhanced by some shade sails, because while this place is really quite nice, it'd be that much nicer to sit and eat a sandwich and not get a seriously sunburnt neck in the middle of summer.

I have to say that this playground fits a lot into a small space! It also caters for a rather wide…read morerange of age groups which is always a plus. There's some shade incorporated into the slide and trees nearby but I don't think they would give the playground too much shade. There is a bench seat under the shade of trees however and it's nice and close to the playground. The table/chair area isn't sheltered but the BBQ is...which is the complete opposite to a lot of other park areas. On the other side of the playground are some tennis courts which are open to the public when the club isn't using them. This wouldn't quite be a 'destination' playground but it's well and truly worth a look and a play if you're in the area. There's a massive area for playing ball sports also. *Dogs allowed* *No drinking fountain* *BBQ* *Table/chair area but not sheltered*

What a great little place this is. There isn't a massive amount for the older children, but they…read morewould still be entertained here. There are interactive panels on the walls of the playground, there's plenty of agility equipment and there's a large rubber hammock! This isn't a 'destination' playground but it is a 'travel from a suburb or two away' playground. I really, really, really want to give this a four star rating but I can't. If I rated it purely as a toddler playground, it would get four stars easily. The streets surrounding it are quiet but I would have thought there'd be a little more fencing along the playground. There is a basketball court here as well as a drinking fountain. There are table/chair sets but these are shaded or sheltered. *Dogs allowed* *Drinking fountain* *Table/chair area* *No shelter/shade*

In my…read moredefence, it was raining and there were children hiding underneath the playground for shelter...which is pretty much the only thing this playground would be good for for children of their age. There really isn't much here and seeing as there's a lot of space around it, I hope it gets transformed into something a little more worth while. Even a sheltered table for the children to sit at would be better than on the wet bark chips. Huge, wonderful, open space to to run around or ride a bike! *Dogs allowed* *No drinking fountain* *No shelter* *No table/chair*

I have never been to this park when there has been less than 10 other people here. This playground…read moreis always busy...busier than I would have thought to tell you the truth. Even though the playground isn't the biggest or the best, it certainly does a good job of entertaining the little ones. If you are looking for a place for a birthday party, this would be it, at least people seem to think so. There are always children's birthday parties here and why not? There's a better-than-some playground with sheltered table/chair areas close to it. The toilet block is just a short walk away to the car park area and look at all that green grass! Worthy of a roll from even the biggest of kids, I think. I can't remember seeing a drinking fountain but I can't imagine this place without one. I'm sure there would be something near the BBQ. The playground has some shelter built into the design. It's not a lot but it's better than nothing. If you decided to come here for a party, I suggest you get in early! *Dogs allowed* *Sheltered table/chair areas* *Toilet block*
