Hey Mamma, do you know playground with city views and in walking distance to hot coffee? Mamma sure does!

Kellet Reserve in Kew is a great street playground with a variety of play options, suiting a bunch of ages. It’s got a giant slide structure with some of the best views of the city sky line we’ve seen since Anderson Park in Hawthorn. Then there is a mini structure with a junior slide, balance beam and connected pipe phone in the shape of a flower - cute!

There are plenty of monkey bars, a triple set of swings and a vomit inducing teacup spinner. Mamma’s kids only know one speed on this thing - that’s FAST!

Mamma also loves a towny frog mouth statue just like his mates from Victoria Park Playground and will be interested to see how your kids use the colourful poles. Colour tiggy is our pick!
