    A great playground for pirates and buccaneers. The playground has a pirate ship and sea theme. The main structure has the wooden bow of a ship (plundered from the South Pacific I'm told) and a separate section with dual wave slides, nice climbing wall, spiral ladder, abacus, sloping parallel bars, two rope bridges, walkway, monkey bars, hanging disks, steps and shop front (selling mermaid necklaces) and two steering wheels to steer the ship.

    Some cute springers (an octopus, fish and seal), see-saw with pelican and clownfish seats, wave rider speedboat on springs and four swings.

    There is a shelter with BBQs, five unshaded tables, water tap, unshaded seats, huge grassy area and toilets.

    This wonderful playground is located in a strand of River Red Gums surrounded by a big grassy area. The playground is designed for children from babies to teenagers with features to stimulate physical, social and imaginative play experiences. The playground is fully fenced but the gates are not safety gates and can be pushed open (which is enough to defeat all but the most intelligent parent who seek vainly for a lock to open but unfortunately not secure enough for most kids who display more ingenuity).

    One end of the playground has a structure with a ramp winding around the outside with wave slide, climbing wall, rope ladder and metal slide. There are plenty of musical instruments scattered about the structure plus an intricate rubber and rope climbing frame at the bottom.

    The other main structure is lower with a paddle steamer form with wave slide, ladder with square rungs, rope ladder, fireman's pole, ladder up a wall plus a big sandpit with some shade.

    The playground also has a long (but quite slow) flying fox with plastic disk seat, huge birds nest swing, family sized see-saw, donut on an angle which spins around, plenty of swings including one with harness, musical bridge and stand-on spinner.

    There are some shaded tables but more shaded seats are needed around the playground area. Toilets and shelter with tables outside the fenced area. Water tap with BBQs. Fully landscaped, the area is an ideal spot for a family day out.

    Baranduda Skatepark is excellent and has some very smooth square bowls joined together with a spine plus a small street section.
