It is super handy to know where all the playgrounds are located when heading into town for a city adventure. If your visit includes a walk through the Queen Victoria Market… then the Flagstaff Gardens is your closest (and greatest) option.

The playground here is simple and awesome for a range of ages. From the climbing frames of the main play structure, to the sandpit equipped with diggers, the round rope climbing frame to the community circle of swings - you are bound to find something fun to do in between city activities.

The gardens have some beautiful lawns for running around or for the more sporty adventurers you could enquire about having a spot of tennis, netball or volleyball on the multi-use courts or check out some lawn bowls.
