Pencil Park, Armstrong Creek
Located:
The Pencil Park playground is located in Armstrong Creek, which is a suburb of Geelong. It’s located on Armstrong Boulevard, near the corner of Native Avenue. We’ve driven past it a few times on the way down to the Surf Coast, but haven’t had the time to stop previously. I made a day of it, to travel to this playground and a few others in the estate, and if you are local to this playground and the others, how lucky you are! Aptly named, the playground is lined by giant pencils making this quite a colourful playground to look at.
Equipment:
- covered seating, BBQ area
- sand play, with rocking boat
- numerous speaking tubes
- 2 wooden playground structures, joined by spider climbing net
- 2 slides
- fireman pole
- clock
- naughts and crosses
- surfboard spring rocker
- digger
- numerous balance beams
Jack liked:
climbing into and driving the boat. He was also focused balancing on the surfboard rocker. He liked climbing along the nets, and the metal balance areas. Overall this was a cute little playground that offered imaginative play and great climbing options.
