Open in February 2019, this all-abilities, inclusive playground in Lane Cove North is definitely one to visit! With a budget of $4 million, Mindarie Park is not short on impressive features and facilities.
The playspace aligns with the Everyone Can Play in NSW guidelines to cater for all people, including disabled and able-bodied children and their Carers. The guidelines encourage best practice in inclusive play space design and provide opportunities for everyone to come together and play.
The kids will LOVE:
- the HUGE selection of swings
- boat-shaped see-saw
- music play area
- variety of slides
- ladders and climbing wall
- sandpit area
There’s plenty for the adults to love too:
- fully fenced with 2 access gates
- toilets outside the playground (one with baby change facilities)
- ground is soft fall (no bark!)
- pram friendly
- plenty of seating
- shade sails and great tree shade
- cabana outside the playground with BBQ facilities

But wait, there’s more!:
- full size basketball court that can also be used for other sports such as soccer
- multi-use platform/stage (also perfect for seating)
- track for skateboards, scooters and bikes
- Wooden climbing area – a bit like a ninja warrior course (located down the bottom beside the basketball court)
