What a fantastic community playground and park space Armstrong Reserve in Newport is. It is large, green, shady and is a destination for lots of Westie folks and their little ones!

The playground equipment at this park is just fantastic - with an ocean theme to go with the huge pirate ship climbing frame. Your minis will be shouting ‘ahoy me hearties’ from the crow’s nest in no time!

Armstrong reserve - Newport - Octopus Park Outdoor Fun Toddler Kids Melbourne West

The centre piece is a wooden octopus for the kids to climb on, alongside a nest swing, lots of blue soft fall flooring, swings, a great picnic shelter, seating and heaps of other cool bits and bobs for the kids to explore. Mamma thinks this park is perfect for all ages - Mamma’s minis (nearly 1 and 5) both genuinely have the best time at this local playground!

The park has lots of shady trees, lush green grass too! There is also a basketball court. Be prepared to stay a while here… it is one of Mamma’s favourites in the inner west!
