Space to spread your wings

Need a new place for your little monkey to play?

This new playground in the Averley estate could be a winner!

It’s at the corner of Apsley Parkway and Appleton Boulevard in the Pakenham East residential development.

Kids can scale the playground’s three-level nest-shaped focal point to get a birds-eye view of the space, or test their balance on rocks and beams in the nature play space.

There are the obligatory slides and swings, of course, plus a turntable, soft fall surfaces, tables, benches, and barbecues.

There’s plenty of space to set down a picnic rug, or for little legs to run, cartwheel, or kick a ball to burn the last of their energy.

We asked Sophie to put the park through its paces and photographer Rob Carew captured all the fun.
