Best playgrounds in Campbelltown

A swing designed for children with disabilities sits in the same space. The park also has accessible unisex toilets, and its public barbecues are first come, first served.

Marsden Park: water play and a full day out
- Fully fenced
- Toilets
- BBQ
- Parking
- Water play
Marsden Park has a children's playground with a climbing frame, a flying fox and a water play area. A gate in the play fence keeps small children inside the zone. Several free BBQ areas sit in the park, and picnic tables are close by for a shared lunch. The playground is beside wetlands, ornamental ponds and cascades, so older children have water to watch as well as play in. Parking is on the site, but it's described as not great, so arrive early.
Best for: Families planning a long visit with a picnic lunch and water play
Mawson Park: a city centre stop
- Toilets
Mawson Park's playground sits on the corner of Queen and Cordeaux Streets in the city centre. The equipment is a climbing frame, a slippery slide and a wobbly bridge, and the park describes it as suitable for all ages. Public toilets stand near the corner entrance, and one is an accessible unisex toilet. Its listing names no barbecues or water play, so it's a short stop rather than a day out. A bus stop sits right beside the park on Queen Street.
Best for: Parents already in the CBD who want a quick play stop
