Rubie Thomson Reserve Playground, Separation Street, Northcote
Two large wooden structures plus see-saw, stand-on spinner, horizontal bars, swings, springer and large sandpit with mechanical scoop. The larger structure has one section with a wave slide, climbing wall and rope bridge and the other section with dual wave slides, curved ladder and fireman's pole with joining elements comprising spiders web rope climbing frame, hanging disks and monkey bars. The problem with this structure is that it requires decent climbing skills to reach any of the slides. The smaller structure has a curved slide, walkway, steps, climbing wall, tic-tac-toe, speak and listen, clock, monkey bars, tunnel, fireman's pole, shop front and spiral ladder.
The playground receives some shade from the surrounding trees. Plenty of shaded tables and seats. There is a nice landscaped area in the park representing a dry creek bed. Large grassy area but next to road without fence. Water tap.
