Braithwaite Park Toddler Playground
We’ve recently completed a playground especially for little ones at Braithwaite Park. Designed with input from local families, the playground will be more accessible and support both imaginative and active play.
The new playground replaces the aging structure at the Berryman Street side of the park. Community members asked for a play cafe, a bike track on softfall and a cubby house, and all of these elements are included in the new playground design.
Braithwaite Park is a popular spot for families with children of all ages. The toddler playground is one of two playgrounds at Braithwaite Park, with the nature play space suited to older children upgraded by the City last year. The new toddler playground will complete the space.
Features
The new playground features a vibrant blue and green colour scheme and has been designed to allow people with prams, wheelchairs and walking aids to move more easily throughout the equipment.
The design meets modern standards and we have opted for a series of separate play structures which provide more space to supervise younger children.
A softfall bike track will surround the playground, perfect for little ones just learning to use a bike or scooter.
Highlights of the new design include:
- swings
- monkey bars
- sliding pole
- two slides
- cafe front
- bike track on softfall
- cubby house
- communication board
Works
Playground construction was completed in August 2024.
