Royal Park Nature Play Playground is an absolute gem for families looking for outdoor fun. The playground is packed with obstacle courses that both kids and parents can enjoy together. It's a great place for kids to burn off energy and explore. A highlight for many is the water fountain, which is a big hit with children—just don’t forget to bring extra clothes if they plan to splash around! That said, there isn’t much shade, so be sure to come prepared with hats, sunscreen, and plenty of water. For a more comfortable experience, visiting in the late evening is a smart choice to avoid the heat. If you're planning a family BBQ, you're in luck. The playground is equipped with several BBQ facilities, making it a perfect spot for a full day of fun and relaxation. Overall, it’s a wonderful destination for a family outing, combining active play with opportunities to unwind and enjoy nature.

I was one of the people that built this park. The park was designed in house by the City of Melbourne (Sky and Jeff) and delivered by Lend Lease with Delta as a major subcontractor. Alot of effort went into making this park, safe and appealing to people from ages 2 to Adult. Shade was lacking at the start, as trees mature this is improving. Fall heights were all taken into account during the design and build, the park underwent multiple independent play safe Audits which had us adjusting items by as little as 20mm to get it right. The park is designed and constructed with different levels of mobility oportunitues to participate in many elements. Pinch points, finger traps and other entrapments were all measured and adjusted where required. Play equipment was a mix of local and imported from Germany. Hope you enjoy.

If you're looking for a fun place to take your kids, this spot is a must-visit. There are plenty of obstacle courses that both kids and parents will enjoy, but keep in mind that there isn't much shade, so be sure to come prepared with hats, sunscreen, and plenty of water. There's also a water fountain that kids love, so it's a good idea to bring extra clothes if you plan on staying a while. I personally recommend going in the late evening to avoid the heat of the day.And if you're planning a family BBQ, you're in luck! There are several BBQ facilities available for use. All in all, this is a great spot for families looking to enjoy a fun day outdoors together.

Absolutely amazing spot, we could have spent all day here. Creative and interesting equipment encouraging children to use their imagination and problem solve, right down to the different paths and access points between areas. Our one year old (not yet walking) was the youngest playing, and so many parents were getting involved too which was great. The big hill was perfect for rolling down, which the 3 year old loved, and we also went on a big walk/bike ride around the park. The pump/waterfall and sandpit combo were a favourite. We were there on a cool day but I can imagine shade would be an issue on warm days. Definitely recommend.

Wow what an amazing playground. how could you give this anything less than five stars? Beautiful. Plenty of interesting and fun things for the kids to do, wonderful swing, big round swing and incredible Army Boot Camp like log contraption to climb all over that stretches for about nearly 40 metres. Really cool little wooden bridge. Plenty of rope things to climb all over and three slides of different heights. Sprawling Green Fields Green Green Grass all around. There's plenty of trees and there's also a lot of really good walking paths around. Right next to the children's hospital. Great place for kids.

The place to come with a sick child. Unfortunately have had to come to the emergency Dept here several times for various issues. The facilities good, staff friendly, skilled with children and caring. They can be overloaded and wait times can be very very long but that is the nature of emergency- particularly if they get a rush and your child is not in critical condition. Pack a bag with clothes Panama’s books drinks snacks and a phone charger before coming if you can. We had a terrible experience with another hospital and now come to Children’s their if we have a paediatric emergency issue.
