If you’re out on a family drive on the southern end of Lake Macquarie, stop by this playground in Martinsville near Cooranbong. We discovered it on our way to orange picking on the Central Coast.
Installed in July 2020 by Lake Macquarie Council, this playground is a fun spot for kids. Although it’s not that big, there is plenty to keep kids busy.
There is a large climbing structure for kids to clamber over and test their agility. It includes a rope climbing gym, small climbing wall, slide and monkey bars.


Kids can also climb all over a wooden goanna as well.

For musical kids, they can bang away on the xylophone.


The fire truck see saw is sure to be a hit with kids.

Surrounded by trees and next to a large oval, this playground has plenty of space for kids to run around, kick balls and make noise.
Bring some snags to cook up on the new barbecues while the kids play.

There are two picnic tables underneath the covered shelter as well as a concrete wall to sit on.
