garie street playground, blackburn
/Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, recently-renovated Garie Street Playground in Blackburn is the perfect spot for your next play.
The main structure has two striking orange slides, cafe and shop fronts, a bridge, monkey bars and vibrant-coloured abacus. The playspace also includes a ride-on springer, a spinning pole, several swing options and a climbing frame. The jewel in the crown of this park, though, is the obstacle ropes course, perfect for older and more agile climbers.
The surrounds of this park are stunning, with the gorgeous gums and greenery of this pocket enveloping the space. The park is tucked into famed Blacks Walk, with bike tracks running in all directions to explore the beautiful parklands. This makes Garie Street the perfect park to pack a bike or scooter.
Complete with a picnic table, bin, drink tap and dappled shade, it’s the ideal park to sit and play awhile as you listen to the birds chirping and the beautiful babbling of Gardiner’s Creek.
