The playground at Fingal Foreshore Park is a beautiful space that is sympathetic to its surrounds and perfectly combines the elements of nature and play. We loved visiting the playground, spending some time exploring the rocks on the beach, and grabbing a snack from the surf club cafe! Definitely a spot to hit up with the kids if you’re looking for a beach day.
The play space has been designed to encourage free, nature-based play and is adorned with plenty of natural elements that tie in beautifully with the natural surrounds of Fingal Head. The playground includes nature play features such as timber hopping logs, balance beams, a timber climbing net and water pump. It incorporates areas for quiet, creative, active and stimulating play allowing children to learn whilst using their imagination. Other features of the play space include new play equipment for children aged 2 to 12 years including swings and slides, an accessible carousel, a yarning circle, additional trees, and accessible picnic facilities.
The playground has plenty of natural shade from the surrounding trees, on street parking (which can be busy particularly on weekends), and is located on the foreshore next to Fingal Rovers Surf Life Saving Club. Public toilets and beach showers are nearby. Don’t forget to take a walk up to the Fingal Head lighthouse and do the coastal walk – super easy with little ones too!
