doncaster reserve playground, doncaster east

Doncaster Reserve has had a glow-up, and mamma’s here for it! This recently renovated playground is an absolute winner, packed with fun for kids of all ages (and grown-ups too).

For the little ones, there’s a huge sandpit, digger and play equipment for littlees to explore and get their hands dirty. The bigger kids (or the brave little adventurers) will be all over the climbing ropes, testing their ninja skills. And let’s not forget the exercise equipment - technically for adults, but we all know the kids will claim it as their own obstacle course!

There’s a fun dual swing, a drink fountain for mid-play hydration, and plenty of benches for parents to sit back and relax (or referee the seesaw debates). Speaking of which, the seesaw here is next-level! Big enough for a whole family, it’s the kind of thing that guarantees giggles.

It’s mostly gated for peace of mind, with some shade to escape the heat. Plus, it’s right across from a massive oval, so if the playground fun isn’t enough, there’s plenty of room to run, kick a ball, play cricket or simply just dog and people watch!
