This play space has a good blend of modern play equipment and nature based elements to it. Say hello to the large stripy snake near the sandpit, it is a very nice draw card to the park, kiddos can climb onto his back, give him a hug or jump off the tail!

langshaw reserve upgrade, altona north

Mamma loves a good little park upgrade. This one has had some great equipment added to keep everyone happy and entertained! It is positively teeming with families too so you’ll be sure to find a friend or two.

There is a new expressions swing (the kind of swing you can put a baby in and there is a swing for you to sit on and swing too!) these are great! You’ll also find a little ambulance, a fantastic new climbing spinning web, slides, turrets, lots of nature based stepping stones, lady bug rockers and lots of fab little new pieces to play on.The large lizard is a great draw card, there is also a fantastic nest swing - seriously big enough and strong enough for us grown ups to have a go!

The playground is located next to a sports oval so take a footy or soccer ball along too!

Mamma’s special mention: You can pop along to second ave grocer to pick up some fresh veg and groceries too! It is not far away.
