river red gum avenue playground, bundoora

Just off Plenty Road, this playground in Bundoora Park is surrounded by lush trees, picnic shelters, BBQs, tables and chairs, and four other playgrounds within walking distance.

The playground boasts a double seesaw, flying fox and merry-go-round. You can take the steps up to a smaller slide or try the harder climbing frames to ride the longer slide. There’s also a curvy bridge to cross, a pole to slide down, monkey bars and a shop front for pretend play underneath. A highlight here is always the super fun spinning swing! You can also find some cool wooden poles here with interesting cravings to check out. 

 Mamma suggests taking a short walk across the field and visiting Aia’s Meadow, an elevated daisy chain art installation. It’s a lovely spot to take a moment to sit, reflect or just admire the beauty of the space with the kids.
