Murrumbeena Park Playground, Kangaroo Road, Murrumbeena
Huge playground with a range of interesting play and visual elements. The main wooden structure has a spiral slide, dual wave slides, scrambling wall, monkey rungs, high rope bridge, hooped ladder, rope traverse, hanging disks, maze panel, clanger to hit against bars (capable of making a fearful din) and shop front. Another smaller, lower structure for younger kids has a curved walkway, steps, spiral ladder and small wave slide.
Other elements are a flying fox with disk seat, mound slide, birds nest swing, huge atom shaped rope climbing frame, labyrinth of poles with winding path which leads to a giant snail (the size that requires a truckload of Defender) and a musical instrument, bridge with lovely wooden carvings, see-saw, large springers, log stumps to jump across, seven swings of different types including some with a harness, huge pear swing (stand and hang onto the enormous yellow fruit with your hands with as much tenacity as you can muster), small stand-on carousel, wooden cubby and wooden V shaped tent.
There are two shelters with tables, unshaded BBQs, water tap and toilets. There are ovals next to the playground. The shelters can be booked for events and a fee applies.
Murrumbeena Park is home to Murrumbeena Football Club, Murrumbeena Junior Football Club and Murrumbeena Cricket Club.
