This playground is absolutely divine, but get in early if you want to secure a spot for you party within the fence of the playground itself! Of course, the playground sits inside the wonderful Footscray Park with heaps of room to hold a party.

There is heaps of fun to be had at this playground with two flying foxes, a carousel, climbing frames, slides, nest swing, musical instrument section, water play and a sand pit just to name a couple of the highlights. Mamma loves that kids of all abilities can enjoy something here too with a path and soft fall that goes all the way around the park there is a good range of play options for everyone of most ages.

You will also be pleased to know that it is mostly fenced in too - excellent considering it is right on the Maribyrnong river. It is really in the perfect spot to view the city, overlooking the river, surrounded by the lush parklands and views of Flemington Racecourse too.

Bring a towel and togs folks - as the water jets and splash zone is WAY too tempting for the kids to get a little soaked and there is the water pump and creek bed too. Kids PLUS water always equals WET!
