Gumnut Park, Worongary

Gumnut Park at Worongary is the first playground to open in the new SkyRidge Development. Located on Welcome Avenue, this gumnut inspired playground is perfect for the younger kids. I would put this age range best at 1 – 6 years.

Here you will find two gumnut shaped pods, linked by a rope balance beam. One gumnut is better suited to the youngest of toddlers, with enclosed steps and easily accessible play elements. The second gumnut is a little higher in design, and requires climbing a rope ladder to access. Both gumnuts have a slide, with one higher than the other. I loved how the design enables the younger toddlers to play, as well as challenging the abilities of slightly older toddlers. The little nooks and hidey-holes also make for some great imaginative and exploratory play.

Other features of this green space include a swinging balance beam and a spinner, as well as some weighted fitness equipment. There is a large open, grassy field, and some picnic tables, although these are some distance away from the playground.
