Mamma thinks she might have found a playground that has it all! Norris Bank Play Space in Bundoora is what playground dreams are made of…. where to start?!

The main playground is a climber's paradise! There are so many ropes, nets, foot stumps and monkey bars to get around on and 4 slides to get you back down to the ground quickly to do it all again. There are heaps of swing options, including a wheelchair-friendly liberty swing and two flying foxes, side by side, one with a belted bucket seat, making flying fox races more accessible and fun.

If you bring your scooter or bike, you can hit the pump track or pack your footy or soccer ball and have a kick on the large grass oval area. There's also a basketball court a short walk away from the main play space.

You can gather your friends onto the log seats and take to the stage to put on a show, then explore the sensory wall and sandpit. Mamma loved the nature play elements here, too! Heaps of large sticks, leaves and logs to play with and even some permanent frames to place these resources on to create different things. There is a large water play set up, which unfortunately wasn't turned on when we visited.

The seating and tables here are great, and most are undercover, with some amongst the trees, meaning lots of shaded options on a sunny day. Some seated areas also have barbecues and water taps nearby. The toilet facilities here are also very impressive and include a change area!

Norris Bank playspace really does have it all, a great option for a big day out with the kids!
