THE BEST new playgrounds IN THE WEST
/ Siobhan RelfThe last few years have seen the opening of LOADS of wonderful new playgrounds. Upgraded, expanded or just plain brand new, you might not have had a chance to get to some yet! Luckily, Mamma has compiled a list of the best new and upgraded playgrounds that opened in the west in the last couple of years.
(For Mamma’s full list of playgrounds, head here.)
So grab your hat, drink bottle, some snacks and off you go! Weeeee!
Mamma’s favourite part of the park was the cute scavenger hunt - your little ones can try and find 9 animal plaques featuring birds, insects and frogs hiding around the playground! So much fun!
Mamma’s little one (3 years old) was obsessed with the little treehouse and sand area with a digger and water play. Other areas for the little ones include musical chimes, an orbit carousel and a basket swing.
Conquest Drive in Werribee has had an overhaul and Mamma thinks you should add it to your list to of parks to check out!
There is a new playground at AJ Davis Reserve in Airport West and it’s a really unique and fun playground with lots of natural play elements set over multi levels (it’s on a hillside)!
We all know your kids love a Ninja warrior course… guess what folks, this park has one! Let your little ones push themselves to their limits with all the swinging and climbing that their hearts desire!
The playground also features everything you want in a park - swings, slides, tunnels, spinners, a rock climbing wall, plenty of shade and seating areas too.
This is a cute pocket playground in Footscray that adjoins the Footscray Hospital carpark. They’ve recently upgraded it, and now the pocket park includes a half court, hopscotch, table tennis table (BYO paddles and balls), exercise station, and more seating.
Discover the fantastic upgrade at Donald McLean Playground and Bike track in Spotswood. With new BBQ facilities, playground facilities, flying fox and a 'learn to ride' bike track complete with traffic signs for kids. Bring bikes, helmets, and scooters, and don't miss the pump track either! This is a great addition to Spotswood for the family.
With a huge playground, basketball court, skate park and picnic tables (with shade) there's something for everyone to enjoy at Kingsfield Park Playground in Sunbury
We love a playground that embraces an obstacle course, and Hampstead Park does just that! Boulders, stepping stones, tree stumps and stationary hurdles snaking around the centre climbing structure provide the space - it’s up to you to create the rules of the game!
Attention parents! Take your kiddies to the Bridge Road Traffic School - we give it the MAMMA guarantee they will LOVE it!
Folks - have you ever seen a playground that has a COOLER Ninja Warrior obstacle course?! If your kiddies would love this - then you MUST visit the new playground at Keilor Park Reserve.
FREE opening day celebrations from 10am to 12 at the BRAND NEW park in Newport. The Blenheim Road reserve is an excellent addition to the area.
The new playground is made up of a see-saw, toddler scrambling area, a basket swing, and two cute ‘Clubhouse’ looking large towers - one for the little ones and one for the older kids.
A great park in Taylor’s Lakes with an amazing BBQ area, bocce court and a soccer field!
Attention Hoppers Crossing residents - Fraser Street Park has had an upgrade and Mamma likes what she sees!
Mamma LOVES a brand new playground – and the one on Townley Boulevard in Werribee is great fun!
Woohoo there’s a pop up pump track at Montgomery Park designed for bikes, scooters and skateboards. It’s a great size and compliments the huge slide and small playground already existing at this vast green space.
This fantastic park has just opened and is a wonderful new design - Mamma hasn’t seen a playground like this before!
The revamped Maclean Reserve in Williamsstown has everything that a kid could wish for – lots of new playground equipment, ropes and spider webs for those that love a challenge, and activities close to the ground for the little ones.
You could be forgiven for thinking you drove to Werribee but somehow landed in New York when you arrive at this awesome skate park - fit for little tykes and adults because it uniquely caters for beginners and pros.
Huge new playground in the new Mambourin - next to Werribee - with huge towers, water play, basketball, flying foxes and more!
With a playground, two ovals and a bike skills track can this reserve get any better? With this new-beaut playground, YES IT CAN!
Ahoy there! Climb the riggings and scrub the decks, this playground is for climbers and pirates at play! There is a giant climbing frame with three nests, rope monkey bars, slides, balance ropes, climbing walls and ropes, swings and more!
We love when councils invest in the local parks and playgrounds of neighbourhoods in the West. This is exactly what Brimbank have done here in their upgrade of the Waterfield Park Playground in Cairnlea.
This park is SOOO much fun!! The climbers are going to LOVE this park - with nets, bouldering walls and frames to manoeuvre, plus a GIGANTIC slide to zoom back down on. We knew kids would love this slide.
Ninja Warrior look out! This training ground has all the obstacles needed to train up the little and not-so-little ninja superstars!
A bright climbing tower with speedy, twisty slides spiralling out stands as the main feature, but that’s only where the fun begins! Monkey bars, spinning nets, rope climbing pyramid, flying foxes, sandpit, in-floor trampolines, slides and swings are also great fun - all spread out nicely with plenty of natural features like rocks and trees webbed between play areas.
Alert! Alert! Another great playground in Rockbank! This one has a cafe on its doorstep (win!) Rope bridges, sand pits, water play, swings, slides, monkey bars, rocks, tree trunks - honestly Mamma could go on and on and on about the elements of play here.
The eagerly anticipated nature playground has finally landed ‘On Country’, here at Pipemakers Park, and Mamma and the kiddies couldn’t be happier!
Another recently upgraded Brimbank playground and this one has a lot of fun to enjoy.
