📍Olinda Forest Playspace Free Scenic Playground and I reckon it's one of the best in Melbourne!
This magical playground is set in the forest overlooking scenic views.
It's well executed with areas for all ages There's a section designed for toddlers too! You'll find an area for water play, sandpit, a few slides, climbing areas, flying foxes, trampolines, two cute play houses, and lots of swings even for adults.
There's plenty of shade and a few picnic tables. There's a BBQ and toilets at the front of the playground and if you're lucky, you might even see a vintage coffee van.
If you want to kick a ball or play cricket , there's an oval just above the playground.
Just make sure you bring a jacket because it can get really chilly even on a 20 degree day.
Make it a worthy day trip by checking out what Olinda has to offer!
They're also expanding the area soon, I can't wait to come back! I reckon this is one of the best outdoor playground in Melbourne and make it a day trip or even a short stay because there's just so much Mt Dandenong has to offer!
