Friar Park Place, Point Cook
Located:
Once upon a time, there was a sun-faded, sad looking playground, view-able by a lot of passing traffic along Dunnings Road. However, in some great news, and thanks to Wyndham Council upgrading some playgrounds over the next few years, there has now been a fantastic little upgrade, and it now looks a whole lot more appealing! We parked on Paola Cct, and walked along the path to have a play and see what was new. Having a 13 month old who pulls herself up, but isn’t walking, the addition of rubber soft-fall was great for her little knees and feet to investigate and crawl around.
Equipment:
- nature-based stepping stone pathway, 1 teepee
- 1 nest swing
- 1 swing with toddler seat and normal seat
- 1 basketball half court
- multiple seats
- a couple of spring mounted animals (kangaroo and pelican)
- target practice
- 1 structure, with slide and flying fox
- multiple ladders to climb to the top
- mini house/shop play.
Jack liked:
Having a go at the different ladders to climb to the top of the slide. Although not specifically aimed at Lexi’s age or development, there was plenty for her to have a go. I was thankful for the rubber soft-fall so that she could walk along and crawl through the shopfront. I did however, have to pull her away from climbing some of the ladders. They both loved having a swing on both the traditional swings and the nest swing.
