Phoenix Park Adventure Playground — Attraction in Melbourne

Phoenix Park Playground is wonderful! The large wooden fortress-like structures provide plenty for the kids to explore, accessible enough for kids aged 2-3 to play independently, but challenging and exciting enough to keep older kids entertained for hours.
