blackburn lake sanctuary playground, blackburn

We just love this nature oasis. This giant turtle that is the star of the show is adorable and completely matched in its surroundings at the Blackburn Lake Sanctuary Playspace. Nature is the name of the game here - and so it should be with so much life nestled amongst the greenery. In the playground you will search out some creepy crawlies in the logs, ride on a grasshopper, travel along the dry creek bed and give that massive turtle a cuddle! After that give the drums a whirl and spin to your hearts delight on the in-ground merry-go-round that has its very own wings. There are a bunch of swings, climbing frames and slides too. Best of all, once the playspace has been fully explored, take a short stroll down to the lake to visit some ducks or meander your way along to the wetlands and the other trails throughout the sanctuary. You’ll find a second playground on the other side of the sanctuary and a special friend - Stumpy - just over the lake!
Mamma's special mentions: The visitors centre has had a little face lift recently and is looking quite swish under its 'wings'. Doors are open each Sunday from 2 till 4pm with cultural displays and talks happening regularly. Check out the Facebook page to stay up to date with events including online and school holiday events.
