Unreal. One of the best I’ve been to. This place is massive. My son (18mo) had an excellent time here. We used only a portion of the park before he was cooked. The size of this park is great with some good areas to hold a party too. Excellent shade from the trees in the mornings for hours. It is exposed in the afternoon. Plenty of parking on and off street close by. Very little traffic in the area to worry about. The creek (Kedron Brook) adjacent usually has plenty of birds flying around the trees. My son loves birds so this was a nice way to wind down with a walk along the bike track as we left. I didn’t realise there are bathrooms until we left. They look like those stainless steel unbreakable type ones you see at the beach. I imagine a bit like having a wee at NASA. Yeah this place is great.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with toddlers and children up to primary school age who want a large, fully enclosed playground with serious variety. The 7 slides and musical stations keep multiple kids occupied simultaneously. Morning visits are the call β€” natural shade fades by late morning and the metal swings get hot fast on Queensland afternoons.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Arrive in the morning when natural tree shade covers most of the playground
⏰Bring sun hats and sunscreen β€” swings and open equipment heat up quickly after mid-morning
🎟️Restrooms are on-site as they are easy to miss β€” stainless steel building near the main entrance
πŸš—Walk down to Kedron Brook after playground time for easy bird watching

β€œMy toddler absolutely loves this park. Known as the β€œorange park” to him. Good for kids 5 and under. My preteen admires it too! I love the garden feature they’ve added. I think that’s a really lovely touch and adds something different to the park. It’s fully fenced, has a restroom there and an oval to kick ball with the kids. Plenty of parking. The only thing is that it can get pretty hot, particularly on a very hot summers day. They have shade in certain spots but maybe in the future can provide a little more coverage.”

β€œI only realised after I'd done my Leslie Patrick Park review that The Hills District All Abilities Playground was a separate area within it. So, this playground was amazing. Lots of variety, well maintained activities and equipment, and a wonderful, secure resource for families and groups of children.πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ™‚β€

β€œExcellent playground with 7 slides, a variety of swings, a see-saw and various musical stations, etc. Would be even better if there were more than one baby swing. Fenced in, with plenty of seating for spectating parents.”
