hodgson reserve, bentleigh
/
This awesome reserve has not one - but THREE different playgrounds! So there is definitely bound to be something to keep kids of all ages entertained.
The first is a brightly coloured - and well shaded - playground, best suited for the littler ones. All your usual fun equipment is here; slides, spinners, climbing apparatus, tunnels, swings and rockers. Next to that playground is a rotunda with tables, a BBQ and toilets. (You can also book to reserve this shelter - ideal for parties)
Then there is the huge oval - perfect for footy/cricket and picnics, with a path so grab your wheels!
Next, there’s a recreational area aimed for the bigger kids/teens. There’s a large (and difficult!) bouldering wall, basketball/netball court, table tennis table, rebound wall and rope climbing tower.
The next playground is up the hill a little. This consists of an awesomely cool snakes and ladders game complete with a spinning wheel dice, undercover picnic area, a few kids size picnic tables and a fitness station.
Be prepared to spend a few hours here! Oh, and you can also bring your furry friend, with both leashed and off-leash areas available for play.
Mamma’s special mention: Head around the corner for a meal at Good Times Milk Bar.
