Banjo Park Playground, Grazing Way, Clyde North
The highlight of the playground is a fantastic water play area based around a flowing stream of water which is most suited to younger kids.
The long stream, which runs along the length of the playground, starts at the top of a big, soft mound. From this point water flows strongly from under a rock down the hill in a rocky channel and when the channel flattens out below there are balance beams criss-crossing the stream. The stream then spreads out to an area with sluice gates, hand pumps, water pools and water sprays which are covered by shade sails.
Apart from the water play area there is a climbing area with a big jumble of logs with a rope net, swings, huge expense of rope tunnels spread across the top of big soft mounds, concrete slide, log steppers, cup to sit in and spin around and birds nest swing.
At the south end near the water play pools is a shelter with two tables, BBQs, water taps and toilets. At the northern end is a shelter with table, BBQ, water tap and basketball half court.
There's a large open grassy area on the side.
This playground is sometimes called Smith Lane Adventure Park.
Water Operating Hours
The waterplay is set on a timer. Through summer it typically turns on 9am, and turns off at 5pm. During those times, it could not be working either because the filters are blocked, and a technician needs to attend to site, or the system turns off because it needs to rebalance chemicals.
