About Waverton Park
Merrett Playground at Waverton Park
Merrett Playground occupies the upper tier of Waverton Park and carries a service-station theme that gives it a distinct look. Its ramped, accessible layout is built around a large deck, with tunnel slides and an arm-power swing for children to try. Swings for different ages sit alongside a slide, so younger and older children can each find equipment suited to them, and the playground is the park's main draw for kids.

Water views sit behind the field, which runs along the foreshore. Wide, pram-friendly walkways run across the wider grounds, so families with strollers can move between the field and the rest of the park.
