Soldiers Reserve, Werribee

Located:

This playground is located on Duncans Road and it easily spotted as you drive along the road. It’s within close proximity to Werribee Secondary College, and there is also a football oval in the same precinct. I parked in the side street, where there is heaps of parking and walked through to the playground. The area was deserted when I visited mid-week. This is a great playground if you had multiples of different ages and abilities. There are a few seats around for the parents too. It was also fenced off from the main road, for parents that have wanderers.

Jack liked:

the smaller playground to start with, but he did get extremely adventurous and climb through things that I never thought he would in the bigger, climbing area! He made it through a tunnel of nets, to reach the solid platform, before trying to climb up the ladder rope to the slide. Every time I thought he was safe and I’d take a photo, or try to, he’d take the wrong step, and fall slightly. This is definitely not a park to be away from the little, adventurous ones! He liked the slide, but there was no ‘easy’ ladder’ or pathway to get him up to the top by himself. I was thankful when he eventually retreated to the other area to climb up the stairs!
