Heatherton Park Playground, Ireland Road, Clayton South
If you cross into Heatherton Park beware of the trolls. They are huge and ugly. One is hunched and green, another has one huge eye in his forehead and a third has little red horns protruding from its head. Scary. Maybe you can hide in the house nearby but please beware of the Trolls.
This playground has a troll theme and has a very extensive range of play structures. An elevated wooden structure in one corner has three wave slides beside a suspended thick rope seat Viking swing, huge troll foot springers, spinning cup with hand wheel and huge bouncy rubber drum (don't let the trolls hear you bouncing though).
The middle area has a standalone flying fox with monkey bars and the other end has two big wooden play structures. One has a spiral slide, climbing walls, ladder, rope walkway, fireman's pole, distorting mirror, spiral ladder and wave slide. The other which is not quite as high has two wave slides, shop front, walkway, tunnel, distorting mirror, binoculars, fireman's pole, rigid horizontal balance beam, ladder with curved rungs and steps.
There are also springers, stand-on spinner, four swings and wonderful huge hulking metal gates which lead down to the playground area from the huge grassy expanses of Heatherton Park.
There is a large shelter with two tables and BBQ, water tap, unshaded table and seats. Also a basketball half court and toilets.
