O'Donaghues, Emu Plain

As the weather was suspect today I decided to try an indoor park. When we arrived shortly after 11:30am on a Saturday the play area was already teaming with kids if all ages and the bistro was in full swing. The play area is undercover but on a Saturday if you want a table near it you need to book.

As the play area is enclosed I don't necessarily know what is in there but there is definitely a slide. The kids that I had there with me were ages 5 through 8, but there were some younger children and some older children in there too. There were also paid arcade style machines inside the play area, just a heads up in case that is an issue for your kids.

The bistro could have been more polite when I was trying to find egg free options due to an allergy, but the food was delicious and I felt reasonably priced. My mother is a vegetarian and there were lots of options for her, which is unusual. The menu also listed vegan, gluten free and dairy free options.

 

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).
