Attention parents! Take your kiddies to the Bridge Road Traffic School - we give it the MAMMA guarantee they will LOVE it!
The kids will quickly pick up the theme here - soldiers, horses and a huge playground with the Eureka flag perched at the top! Adventure is the name of the game here.
Adventures parks are fantastic and this one is in a league of its own - it is positively teeming with people on the weekends and its location on the banks of Ballarat's Lake Wendouree makes this the perfect family destination.
This park has had a relatively new makeover and it is stunning. This nature inspired play space has all the faves like flying fox, climbing structures, swings and pump water play - but Mamma really loves the ocean themed carved tree sculptures that really capture the feel of the area
You can’t beat a beautiful wooden playground. The Lorne Beach Playground is a nautical themed play space with the main structure mimicking a pier.
‘Gold Rush’ themed Long Gully Splash Park is super cute - relatively small but has everything you could need! And the treated water is solar heated!
This place is about as wonderful as wonderful playgrounds can possibly get!
Well, here my friends, is a top notch playground! This stunning new play space is chock full of fun!
Mamma just loves a playground with a scooter run! The track has steep enough spots to satisfy older kids on bikes but is safe enough for little ones on scooters.
You’ll be in another world when you launch into Galaxyland Playspace! This amazing playground boasts lots of vast play areas for all age groups
Wow, this park is so perfect and has so much character and WATER PLAY!
Kingston Park - Ocean Grove! Wow. Wow. Wow. What a fantastic park. Mamma and the kids spent some time here and they have given this a 10 out of 10.
What a gorgeous playground! Firstly, its HUGE, and has so many zones, that kids of all ages will love it here.
There is something really special about adventure playgrounds. This playground in particular is a Mamma favourite!
Poppy Kettle park has the most stupendous view along the waterfront in Geelong plus puff the magic dragon and of course that awesome slide and climbing tower.
