Constellation Playground, King George Park

Stop off on your family cycle, walk or jog around the Bay Run for a play break at this adventure playground. There are hillside slides to climb up and slide down, swings big enough for the whole brood and a super-wizzy flying fox. Tots can make a mess in the sandpit, climb up or topple down the slides and scream to go “higher and higher” on the swings. Older children like to challenge each other to a race up the slopes, or roll down. But the one they all fight over is the all-abilities tripod swing. They playground is at the water’s edge in Rozelle, and there are sports fields, toilets, water bubblers and dog-friendly paths nearby.
