Robinson Park, Jamisontown

We visited this park in Jamisontown that has recently had a shade cloth added. It has a set of play equipment for your older kids, a set for the little tykes, an undercover picnic bench, and it is set on a big block with plenty of space for children to go off ‘exploring’ together (as my Miss 5 and Miss 7 like to do).

Robinson Park has a great play area for littler siblings, including a xylophone, and a little rubber section that they can walk under/through that my kids enjoyed. The area for bigger kids has a few different climbing options, and my two loved the platform because it meant that their feet were up higher than my head, they felt very top of the world. They also love a double slide.

The picnic table and a council bin make it easy for parents to have a rest, but there are also a few picnic benches and blocks of sandstone scattered around for resting on. There are swings and balancing beams next to the picnic bench.

This park includes -

• Balancing beam

• Cargo net

• Covered picnic table

• Free

• Monkey bars

• Pretend cafe

• Seats for adults

• Shade Cloth

• Slides (including double slide)

• Swings

 

Lions Park, Emu Plains

Lions Park is located on the corner of the Great Western Highway and Park Street, Emu Plains. It is behind the community centre, and it has toilets and quite a bit of undercover seating for parents. The parking on Park Street is a bit tight, I imagine on the weekends you would need to park in a side street.

I only have two basic photos but the website for Moduplay actually has detailed photos, you can have a look at those here.

This park has swings, a slide, and plenty of climbing options that don’t fit the usual box. There is a balancing beam, a small rock climbing wall, and a fence all of the way around. The fence doesn’t have a gate, but the opening is where the seats for the adults are. This is also next to a cricket or footy oval with a concrete pathway wrapping around it, that is great for a walk or a bigger bike ride (not toddlers it is a bit long).

Judges Park, Penrith

This park is next to the Penrith Bowlo, there is generally a fair amount of parking on the weekend or after school, and since I took these photos they have put a large sunshade over it. This is my favourite park to catch up with a Mum who has older children than mine, I feel like this is the park with the most options for older children. I don’t have older children though, I would love to hear in the comments from Mums who think another park is more suited?

There is a slide, a balancing beam (which is a bridge rather than stationary), a rock climbing wall, a cargo net, one of those ‘spider web’ rope structures, swings, seats for adults, a sun shade, and plenty of metal climbing structures that are physically too big for smaller children.
