About Strickland Park
Toddler Playground at Strickland Park
Strickland Park has a small playground for toddlers and younger children, listed by the City of Sydney under infants and pre-schoolers. The play equipment includes a slide, a nest swing, a ladder and a play panel. The playground is partly fenced rather than fully enclosed, so the open side needs watching. Garden planting with stepping stones for sensory play was added beside the play area during the 2020 upgrade, and trees shade the paved area inside the park entrance.
Seating and Picnic Table at Strickland Park
Strickland Park has a picnic table and new benches around its playground, including a feature seating wall added in the 2020 upgrade. The paved area around the enclosed playground seats up to 15 people. The existing trees were kept when the works went in, with more plants and grasses added between them, so the seating sits in shade on warm days.
