Livvi's Place Playground: shade and BBQs for a long visit
- Shade
- Toilets
- BBQ
- Parking
- Accessible play
Livvi's Place Playground is the pick for a long visit, with shade for parents, park BBQs and a giant shark for children to climb into. Under-cover seating lets grown-ups sit out of the sun while the kids play. Park BBQs, picnic tables and park seats are all part of the playground's furniture, so lunch can be close to the play. The shark structure is wheelchair-friendly and built for children of all abilities aged 3 to 12. Smaller children can spend time in the fairy garden and at the Jam Zone, where musical instruments are on offer. Accessible toilets sit near ALDI at Bay Central, outside the playground, so plan that stop before you go.
Best for: Families who want shade, a BBQ and an inclusive play space in one stop
Solander Playing Fields: a playground beside the sports ovals
- Toilets
- Parking
Solander Playing Fields suits a sports day when younger kids need something to do. Its playground for young children sits beside the ovals, so a sibling can play while older family members train or watch a game. Public toilets are on site, and so is parking for anyone who drives. The grounds sit on the banks of the Georges River, and cyclists can ride in from the Woolooware Bay shared cycleway. Its details don't cover shade or barbecues, so plan for both.
Best for: Families with younger kids who are also watching or training on the same day
Hagger Park: a train-themed playground at the station
- Parking
Hagger Park is the pick for families who arrive by train, since its train-themed playground sits at the northern entrance to Woolooware station. The playground has a carousel, swings and slides, and a small bike and scooter path runs beside it for older children. Parking is listed as one of the park's facilities for anyone who drives. Shaded seating under trees sits across the park, so parents can rest nearby. The nearest toilets are in the adjoining train station.
Best for: Families arriving by train who want a short play stop

How we picked
We compared each playground on fencing, shade, toilets, BBQs, accessible play and park size, then scored each one on what its details confirm. A detail that isn't known shows as a dash in the table, so a gap never reads as a no. A pick needs enough known details to fill its section, and parks below that bar stay in the table.
