📍 Sydney Olympic Park, NSW
One of Sydney's top playgrounds at Olympic Park featuring flying fox, treehouse structures, climbing equipment, long slides, tunnels, swings, sandpit, and water fountain areas. Free entry with gas BBQs available for family picnics.
This is probably THE best playground in whole of Sydney and that's no lie. It has a flying fox, swings, tunnels, long slides, climbing ropes and more. The kids always have a fun time here and it's hard to drag them away when time to leave. Grab a gas BBQ and make an afternoon of it. There is heaps here for the kids to keep them occupied. Parking is available in two areas - down towards the water, and on the hill near the entrance. This park gets super busy so best times to avoid the crowds is either early in the morning on weekends, or during a weekday.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for active school-age children who love climbing and exploring — the treehouse and flying fox are the standout drawcards. Younger children are also well-served with age-appropriate equipment throughout. Families driving in should factor in paid parking, which replaced free access recently.

“A definitive playground experience. This is how a playground should be built. Great variety of slides, ramps, climbing equipment and places to explore. Particularly enjoy scaling up the tree house. Visit on weekdays to avoid the crowds.”

“This playground has so much to offer for children and adults. My favourite is the Treehouse because it's a pain to try and manoeuvre around it, but fun. It's very quiet during the week and gets very busy at the weekend. This playground is inside Blaxland Riverside Park which is a bonus. There's a kiosk next door and plenty of public lavatories. Highly recommended for everyone but come visit early morning or late afternoon, especially in hot weather.”
