Carrum Downs Reserve Playground

Small one, but nice for kids.

Overall - very good, clean, fun, playground Beautiful new playground, but designed by people who need to get out from behind the desk just a little more. The shade sails never actually provide shade over the play areas as the sun moves around them. Better planning could have made this a wonderful, sun smart, playground. Otherwise, the overall construction is perfect. Safe bolts and fixings, no silly pinch points that will grab your hair on the way past. Fall distances are minimal but still provide a sense of risk. Higher areas have very high walls for safety, yet designed to allow visibility through that gaps. Great angle on the slide so 8 to 12's get enough speed but 2 to 7's don't break their necks. Flying fox is just high enough that an 80kg man can have a go and only skin his butt checks once, right in the middle. Needs a couple more seats, and an additional undercover area. Currently only sufficient for a small birthday party if there's no other visitors. I didn't see any drink fountains, so bring a bottle of water. But this may change shortly as some work was still being done when I visited the day after opening.
