Whites Beach Playground, The Esplanade, Torquay
Open and spacious playground with a big flying fox with disk seat, huge rope climbing structure in a sandpit, birds nest swing, big wooden turtle with eggs in a sandpit and a labyrinth.
This is a beautifully created playground and all the equipment relates to indigenous themes. For example, the rope climbing frame represents the fishing net from the Wadawurring, the birds nest swing is the nest of Bunjil the wedge Tailed Eagle and the flying fox is Waa the Crow. There are many information posts about topics such canoes, turtle, echidna, yam daisy, digging stick, sun, emu, paperbark, spear, earth, story telling, crayfish and snake - an indigenous history lesson in a play environment.
There are also unshaded tables and seats and a water tap plus beautiful mosaics.
