Montrose Community Playground, Mt Dandenong Tourist Road, Montrose
Fantastic community playground which was built in 2008 and has good All Abilities access. The central area has two large pyramid rope climbing frames with the larger one having some horizontal levels. A long ramp on one side leads via a high rope bridge to a beautifully painted wall with an Australian bush setting. This area has some climbing walls, wave slide and fireman's pole. Along the ramp is a spiral slide, various types of ladders, disks on a vertical pole, medium wave slide, metal walkway, twisted climbing sheet, monkey rungs, hanging disks and monkey bars. To the side is a stand-on spinner, huge lady-bug springer, four swings without safety chains and a birds nest swing.
Elsewhere there are two swings with safety chains, swing with harness and another birds nest swing. Near the pyramids is a lower structure with ramps, tunnel, curved slide, walkways, climbing mat, wave slide, fireman's pole and ladders. There is a four wheel bike springer, large bee springer, climbing structure with three twisted climbing sheets, flying fox and tractor springer. A circular path leads past a series of shop fronts including the fire station. Unusual swing is located at the back.
An area with four BBQs and tables (some shaded). Water tap. There is limited shade for the playground from the trees. Next to an oval with toilets. This is the type of playground where it is easy for parents and kids to play together.
