A good playground suits a range of ages, with climbing, swinging and sliding that stretch children without leaving smaller ones out. Fencing matters most near roads, and shade and seating help parents stay longer. Equipment wears over time, so it is worth checking for missing parts or worn surfaces before a visit. When choosing one, look at the layout, whether there is a barbecue or picnic area, and where the toilets are.
For a family picnic or a climbing play session in Burnside, it is a playground worth a visit on Memorial Avenue.
