Wombat Bend Playground

“A Hidden Gem for Families and Nature Lovers! Wombat Bend in Templestowe is a delightful park that offers something for everyone. The standout feature is its playground, which is thoughtfully designed with kids in mind. There are plenty of interactive play structures, climbing areas, and swings that keep children entertained for hours. What sets this place apart is its connection to nature. The park is surrounded by lush greenery, and the nearby Yarra River adds a tranquil touch. It’s a perfect spot for a family picnic, with well-maintained BBQ facilities and plenty of open space for games or relaxation. Accessibility is also a plus, as the park includes features for people of all abilities. It’s clear a lot of care has gone into making this place inclusive. The walking trails around the park are ideal for a leisurely stroll or a morning jog. Bird watchers will also enjoy spotting the local wildlife. Whether you’re looking for a fun day out with the kids or a peaceful escape in nature, Wombat Bend is a must-visit. Highly recommend!”

“Love this playground, very natural something for everyone. So close to the river too. Held a birthday here recently, it was great for lots of different aged kids too, big and little. Not as open as some parks, each area feels a bit more secluded, but great shade and nice big sandpit. Batwing swing is ace. Just 2 pavilions, one inside the fencing and one outside behind the loos, both next to bbq's. Still plenty of picnic tables as well.”

“Nice leafy park for all to enjoy, especially kids. The usual swings and slides plus a flying fox, climbing frame, maze, sandpit and water play area. 2 BBQs and a covered shelter for picnics. Lots of shade so good on a hot day.”

“A lovely playground with a few rare find facilities, such as maze and a swing carousel. The sand pit also has many diggers and trucks for kids to play with. It also has many shaded spots.”
