Victory Park Playground, Camp Street, Chelsea
A large interesting playground located within ten metres of the Chelsea beach. A lighthouse with telescope and binoculars on the top level stands tall over the playground area. Use the steps which wind upwards inside the lighthouse to reach the top or alternatively cross a rigid balance walkway from a structure which has a high wave slide, fireman's pole, climbing mat, "tree ladder" and normal ladder.
There is also a lower structure with a boat shape which has ramp access from a path, walkway, ladders, small slides, tic-tac-toe, steering wheel, tunnel, fireman's pole and spiral ladder.
There is a huge sandpit with a wooden castle. The castle structure has a slide, chain ladder, steps, walkway, ladders and various levels and cubby areas. The sandpit also contains two mechanical diggers and two swings with safety chains. There are two other swings in the playground including one with a harness.
The area has a number of shelters with tables, unshaded and shaded tables and seats, BBQs, water tap and toilets. It is well planned to enable access for all-abilities. Paid parking near the playground area but some free parking areas close by. The area is reasonably well protected by a fence but it is close to the water, so you will need to be vigilant if your kids tend to wander off and are attracted to the water.
