rye foreshore playground, rye — mamma knows south

Rye Foreshore Playground is a total classic! A wooden treasure that your kids will want to visit again and again. It is a community treasure and its design is a nod to all things nautical. With the lighthouse, boats, bait shack and even hidden treasure, there are fun things to be found around each corner. Keep an eye out for some pesky pirates, a beautiful mermaid and plenty of friendly fish. The play elements are pretty accessible, suiting crawlers as well as your primary aged kiddos who are keen to climb up the walls. We can easily spend an entire hour exploring this space. The playground is fully enclosed with only one entrance at the front (which is nice being close to the main highway) and has beautiful views of the bay from up the top of the slide.

Mamma's special mention: For the local tip, head to the boat ramps at the end of the day, or whenever the fishing boats are heading back to shore and be on the look out for the local stingrays that are looking to feast on some easy dinner!
