Abbott Park at Parkwood is home to a fun playground, a great learn to ride track, a BMX track, a basketball court and a dog off leash park.
This playground is very popular with the locals, with 2 huge tunnel slides, spinners, seesaws and a toddler play structure. The row of 5 swings is fabulous, with plenty for all to have a go! There’s also a flying fox, best for the older kids as it is a bit high to get on, but little ones can use it with assistance.
The kids love the learn to ride track, suited to younger children on trikes, balance bikes and pedal bikes. Children can ride around roundabouts, over bumps and follow traffic directions, all in a safe and controlled environment. For older kids, the parklands has great open spaces and lots of pathways for bike riding, and at the top of the parklands is a BMX track for more experienced riders.
This is a popular parkland due to its size, with lots of reasons to visit. The basketball court near the Parkwood Boulevard entrance is well used, as is the off leash dog enclosure near Woodlands Way. There is a toilet here, but it is a short walk from the playground towards the BMX track.
