jj holland park, kensington

UPGRADE ALERT! UPGRADE ALERT!

A bright climbing tower with speedy, twisty slides spiralling out stands as the main feature, but that’s only where the fun begins! Monkey bars, spinning nets, rope climbing pyramid, flying foxes, sandpit, in-floor trampolines, slides and swings (and a half court on the way) are also great fun - all spread out nicely with plenty of natural features like rocks and trees webbed between play areas.

And Mamma knows from experience the number one sign that a playground is top quality is when the big kids, parents and carers are joining in on the fun and games!

And you can bet your bottom dollar there’s no one taking advantage of the ample seating surrounding the park, because even the adults are too busy getting spun around, clambouring up the tower in a game of tiggy or swinging with their little one on the double swing!

Mamma's special mention: You know Mamma Knows Parties is going to have her eyes on this playground, because it’s just perfect to host a birthday bash - loads of grassy spots surrounding, a couple of BBQ’s, picnic tables and toilets! Hip, hip, hooray!
