We Explored The Brand New Playground In Spring Farm

By: Natalie Bellamy, ellaslist explorer

Wow, wow, wow!! Riverside Playground is like no other park seen in the Macarthur area of South West Sydney. The park is located on Burrell Road, Spring Farm (near Camden) adjacent to the dog park. Three years in the making, this park ticks all the boxes.

Green open spaces, BBQ facilities, shaded picnic areas and plenty of pathways to ride your bike overlooking the beautiful lake, makes for a perfect recipe of family fun. The park itself has so many fun features that would entertain both toddlers and older children (as well as the young at heart).

Equipment & Facilities

The riverside playground has two flying foxes which were a hit with my two boys. The many climbing structures were both challenging and fun. Other equipment included mini trampolines, swings, see-saws and slides. The playground also has some wheelchair accessible equipment, too. Currently, there are no public toilets located at the park but the use of the playground will be monitored in the coming months to see if toilets are needed.
