Broadford Street Reserve for climbing and riding
- Parking
Broadford Street Reserve has the most climbing and riding of the Bexley picks. The play area has a climbing net, swings, spinning equipment and horizontal bars, and a bike path runs through the reserve for riders of all ages. A toddler bike and scooter path is there for younger riders. The play area sits at the corner of Bayview Street and Parliament Terrace, and the listing places Bexley Public School and St. Mary and St Mina's College close by. Car parking is listed for the reserve.
Best for: Older toddlers and young children who like climbing, and riders learning on a toddler path
Dominey Reserve for toddlers and sensory play
- Parking
Dominey Reserve is the one to pick for smaller children. Its play space mixes play equipment with a sensory play zone for children who enjoy exploring textures and sounds, and a separate toys area gives little ones their own corner. The reserve has a baby change table, drinking water and rubbish bins, but no public toilet, so plan a toilet stop before you arrive. It's open all day and night, every day.
Best for: Toddlers and smaller children, and families who want sensory play
Flynns Reserve for swings and ball games
- Parking
Flynns Reserve sits in an open field, so children can run about beside the swings and rockers. Ball play sits alongside the swings, giving older kids room to kick or throw. Parking can be found close by for free. There's no seating and no shade in the park, so bring your own chairs and sun protection. Its equipment is set for younger children, so older kids may be better served by Broadford Street Reserve.
Best for: Younger children on swings and rockers, and older kids who want a ball game
