In the heart of Cooks Hill, Centennial Park is not to be missed. With its large grassy surrounds and fun kids playground, it’s a top spot to take the kids, arrange a mother’s group meet up or host a kids birthday party.
There’s play equipment dotted around this Cooks Hill playground. There’s a play fort with two slides and a small climbing net.
Plenty of choice on the swings (including a toddler swing, regular swing and a group swing)
If you have children who love to balance and climb, there’s a large climbing structure that kids can climb up, through and over.
Nearby, you’ll find the green spinning climbing, also heaps of fun.
Next to that is a rope play structure which kids can balance and rock back and forth.
There’s also the group see saw so that multiple kids or parents can play.
With the nearby rotunda and large grassy area, Centennial Park is a great place for birthday parties, play dates or just a day at the park.
Bring a picnic blanket and enjoy the rotunda. It’s a versatile spot to eat lunch, ride bikes or scooters or relax with a story time session.
All of that grass surrounding the rotunda means that there’s plenty of room to play soccer, cricket, footy or run relays. The park is full of Norfolk pines and fig trees providing plenty of shade and also great hiding spots for hide and seek.
