Southbank Boulevard Reserve

There were some issues that made me hesitate giving this a four star rating, but the positives definitely outweighed the negatives so I jumped at the chance to give this area my seal of approval.
There is so much that I love about this playground. I love that the playground itself has shaded areas built into it. I love that there’s a variety of equipment for different ages. I love that you can almost launch yourself off of some of the slides. I love that it’s fully fenced. I love that there’s even a ramp onto the playground for those children who need wheels to get around. I love that apart from the ramp there’s still about four different ways to actually get on to the playground. Can you tell I’m excited? BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! I love that there sheltered table/​chairs AND a working drinking fountain so close to the playground. I love that there’s a basketball hoop not too far away. I love that you can have dogs in the park (but not in the fenced off playground area). I love that there’s a BBQ! I LOVE IT!!!
SO why didn’t I give this a five star rating??? Because there’s no toilets :-(This IS a destination playground for me because I don’t have to drive far to get to it. I would however, prefer to have toilets at a playground that I drove across town to get to.
This is a wonderful place… a ‘must play’ playground.
