Sydney's Best Fenced Playgrounds – Eastern Suburbs

When you have your first baby, you have no idea how important your local playgrounds are going to be in your life.

But it’s when you have your second child that you realise how important it is to know where are all the fully-enclosed, fenced playgrounds are.

Let’s raise a cheer for all the councils and playground designers who put a nice tall fence around their playgrounds. What a relief for parents whose kids are at that… awkward… age…. the age of escape.

It’s no fun to see your toddler running off whilst you’re breastfeeding that new baby.

Trust me, I know.

Or for those of us (and there are heaps of us) who have twins, triplets or more or children with special needs, knowing where to find a good fenced playground is, literally, a lifesaver.

I’ve done a post on Best Fenced Playgrounds in Sydney – North, and here’s the Eastern Suburbs version.

For other areas of Sydney suburbs see my post How To Find Fenced Playgrounds In Your Local Area.

Here follows a list with a link where you can read more about the playgrounds.  When I’ve photographed them all – when will that be?!! – I will prettify this post with more photos.

Of course, we love loads of other playgrounds in the Eastern Suburbs, Coogee’s is excellent, as are the playgrounds at Centennial Park and Bronte Beach. But sometimes, a fenced playground is just the best… for a wee rest.

 Hope you find this helpful!

Please let me know of other great fenced playgrounds in this area, always delighted to improve a post.

Happy playground hunting.
