Gordon Recreation Grounds features a modern, fully fenced playground on Werona Avenue that combines practical safety features with contemporary play infrastructure. The enclosed design allows for comfortable supervision while children explore the equipment—a giant rope-climbing dome anchors the space, complemented by double slides, swings, balance elements, and natural sandstone ledges. The tennis ball-themed features tie thoughtfully into the adjacent courts, creating visual cohesion throughout the grounds.

The fenced layout works particularly well for families with runners or multiple children, offering peace of mind that’s rare among local playgrounds. Equipment suits children under ten, though parents note the absence of a dedicated baby swing as a gap. The bird-nest swing provides an alternative for younger ones with supervision.

Amenities include upgraded accessible toilets with baby change facilities, a covered picnic shelter, and a drinking fountain. Parking is straightforward on surrounding streets, and Gordon’s cafes sit within easy walking distance. Shade comes primarily from mature trees rather than built structures—sun protection remains essential during warmer months.

For neighbourhood visits combining play, coffee runs, and convenient access, Gordon Recreation Grounds delivers genuine local value.
