Ryes Up! Community Playground, Point Nepean Road, Rye
Located east of the Rye Pier, a fantastic community playground was built by the community in the space of five days in October 2012. The wooden structure is in the shape of a huge ship. The towering bow has levels leading up to a deck and a wave slide. The stern area has a tunnel and spiral slide while the mid-section has a range of equipment such as monkey bars, balance beam, monkey rungs and balance beam. The playground is fenced with an entrance area with a sea-horse motif. The whole playground has a nautical theme befitting the area and there are crabs, dolphins, fish, seaweed, starfish, divers and other sea creatures adorning the walls. An area has a range of swings including a birds nest swing.
Apart from the main ship structure there is a smaller structure with a lighthouse which has a wide slide, walkway and tunnel.
Shelter with BBQs, shelter with seats, unshaded tables and grassy area. Paid parking. Water tap and toilets.
