Good to know

Before you go.

Little or no shade

This playground is fully open with no shade, so sun protection is important.

Dogs only in designated areas

Dogs are not permitted anywhere in The Groynes except for the dog park.

Toilets onsite

Picnic tables are available, and toilets are located right at the playground for convenience.

Route options

If you’re keen to explore more, The Groynes offers walking tracks, bridges, and two other playgrounds—plus bookable picnic spots and BBQs located in other parts of the reserve.

Worth finding

This playground has fewer pieces than one of the other playgrounds in The Groynes, but what’s here is creative and fun.
