Why go?

Climb high, picnic under the trees, and let off steam in the wide open field

Burnside Park Playground is a fun, open space for kids to climb, swing, balance, and explore. With a large wooden fort, monkey bars, wobbly bridges, climbing tyres, and a wave-shaped climbing structure, there’s something for every kind of play. The playground sits beside a big grassed field with shady spots and picnic areas.
