If you’re searching for a family-friendly playground in Rockbank, Central Park near the Woodlea Town Centre is well worth a visit. Mamma says this is one of those parks that works for all ages — big kids, little kids, and everyone in between.

The standout feature of this colourful adventure playground is the huge tower with its eye-catching pink twisty slide, plus rock-climbing walls and two smaller slides for younger kids. The play equipment is surrounded with sand, so it feels like one giant sandpit — perfect for a long morning or afternoon of fun.
