“Gorgeous playground with parking building nearby. The car park is a $ 20 flat rate daily fee, which is worth it. You and your family can easily spend half a day here. There is climbing equipment for both younger and older groups of kids. There are water features so if you are afraid of the wet clothes, pack extra clothes for your kids.”

Overview
Set in the heart of Darling Harbour, Tumbalong Park Playground is one of Sydney's most popular family destinations. Kids can tackle serious climbing equipment, launch down a giant slide, and cool off in an interactive water fountain area during summer. A large group swing adds a social element rarely found at suburban parks. The playground is fully wheelchair accessible and surrounded by open parkland. A multi-storey car park sits directly adjacent, making it straightforward to arrive with young children and gear in tow. Most families find themselves staying well beyond their planned visit.
