central park playground, malvern east

There is a new playground at Central Park in Malvern East! It’s not just about play; it's an invitation to engage with the wonders of nature around us. As you wander around the park, you’ll find signs encouraging you and the kiddos to touch, smell, look, and really connect with nature.

The new, FULLY FENCED play area is ideal for younger kids and toddlers, offering a safe space to explore and play. Mamma's 4-year-old loves keeping an eye out for magical creatures hiding in the discovery nodes, in the trees and along the new paths. Play equipments include a sandpit and cubbies, a trampoline, three swings, a slide, and a spinner… there's plenty here to keep the little ones engaged and happy.

For older children, the partly-fenced playground nearby provides more adventurous options like rope climbing and swings, perfect for those seeking a bit of excitement.

The park itself is a charming spot for a family walk, with beautiful flowers and a water fountain.
