Curlew Community Park, Laverton
Located:
Recently opened, this park, located on Epsom Street in Laverton, is a pretty amazing new edition for the area! We popped in for a quick play, and Jack was upset that he hadn’t managed to have a play on all the bits. I think the level of detail in the park is amazing, and it will look epic once the surrounding gardens have grown. Parking was plentiful on a weekend, and with 3hr time limits, should detract from people parking there to access the train station, midweek. With both BBQ’s and toilets, I can see this playground being used for a lot of birthday parties!
Equipment:
A huge nature based playground, full of winding paths, balance items, and quirky little details.
Covered BBQ area and toilets
A bike/scooter path loops around the areas, and it also has an awesome little pump track for all those that wish to have a go.
Basketball court and table tennis table.
Sand area:
- pirate ship, with wheel and binoculars
- metal slide
- water play
Tanbark & softfall area:
- nest swing
- spinning carousel
- 2 trampolines
- 2 swings
- large net climbing frame, that leads to a larger slide
Jack liked:
taking his new scooter and trying out the scooter pump track. I liked that they had marked beginner, intermediate and more advanced paths on the pump track, so it was easy to advise the little ones what colour to stick to, based on their experience.
