Plum Garland Memorial Playground, Beaconsfield Parade, Albert Park



Plum Garland Memorial Playground, Beaconsfield Parade, Albert Park

This playground had a major facelift and doubled in size. There are shade sails over the western part and the surface is a giant sandpit.

There is a multi-level structure in a sandpit for hauling up sand in a scoop, swings without safety chain, digger in a sandpit, water play area where you can pump water into a big tank, rope climbing frame and tiny toddler swing.

Outside the shaded area is a curved slide coming down from a boat structure, small dual slides, various sandpits, tunnel, small grassy picnic area, big sit-on carousel for lots of kids, birds nest swing, one picnic table and some relaxing curved seats looking out to the bay. It is landscaped throughout to give a sandy, beachy natural feel.

There is a water tap and the playground is fully fenced. There are toilets at the life saving club 100m away and a kiosk. Volleyball nets are on the beach next to the playground area. Next to bike track so be careful or you risk getting bowled over by a cyclist on the way to the playground! Paid Parking from 8 am - 6 pm.

Seems to have everything for younger kids except Captain Feathersword, Dorothy and Henry the Octopus.
