Ron Payne Park, North Epping

This BRAND NEW playground in North Epping is the latest playground to be opened by Hornsby Council and is a lovely addition to the area. With bright and cheerful play equipment and a fun transport theme, this is one that littlies aged 2- 7 years old will love. Set adjacent to the sports field, it will definitely be popular on Saturdays and Sundays! It’s also close to the bushland and might inspire a little bushwalk, if you’re game! 

 

Play equipment includes:

  • slides
  • swings
  • stepping blocks
  • balancing bridge
  • train
  • car
  • petrol station
  • climbing

 

 

Other features we loved include:

  • a toilet block
  • covered picnic table
  • a short scooter track

We’re not so in love with the bark chip ground or the lack of shade but as they say, you can’t win ’em all!

 

Getting There

Ron Payne Park is located on Wood Street North Epping where you’ll find plenty of street parking.
