Amberton Beach Toddler Playground, Eglinton

Amberton Beach Toddler Playground in Eglinton is a gorgeous little coastal spot, purpose‑built for younger children and perfectly positioned to make the most of those Indian Ocean views. Set right next to Amberton Beach Bar & Kitchen on the beach side of the Amberton Estate, it’s an easy place to stop for a play before or after a meal or drink at the Beach Bar.

The Playground has been designed with toddlers in mind and is mostly fenced, which is a big plus for parents with speedy little runners. While it’s not fully enclosed, the only open section is a gap of wooden logs; many parents choose to sit on the grass right by this area to keep an eye on any potential escape artists.

Within the fenced zone you’ll find plenty to keep little ones busy: there are two in‑ground trampolines that are a huge hit, a low slide, a crawling tunnel, balancing elements and a small climbing dome for early climbers. A spinning seat and a selection of musical play pieces add to the fun and give kids the chance to explore sound and movement at their own pace.

Water play is another highlight here. The Playground includes a small water play area, perfect for sand and water experiments on warm days. Combined with the sand base and nearby beach access, it’s easy for kids to move between traditional play, sensory play and splashing around. The whole play space is well shaded with substantial shade sails, and a large mature tree throws shade across the adjacent grass – ideal for a blanket, snacks and watching the kids play.

Supporting facilities make Amberton Beach Toddler Playground handy for families. There’s a barbecue right next to the Playground and a covered picnic table, plus lots of bench seating dotted around the edge if you’d prefer not to sit on the grass. This set‑up, along with the ocean backdrop, makes it a lovely, low‑stress option for small children’s birthday parties or relaxed afternoon catch‑ups.

Public toilets are available at Amberton Beach, and there is plenty of parking close by.

The Playground sits behind the dunes with sweeping vistas, a staircase down to the water, beach showers and wide open lawns that make it easy to turn a quick play into a half‑day outing.

Parents should be aware that at times there can be noticeable bee activity around the large tree and Playground area, especially in warmer months, so it’s worth keeping an eye out if you have children with allergies. Otherwise, families report happily spending long summer evenings here, picnicking on the grass and watching the sun go down over the ocean while the kids tire themselves out on the equipment.

Directly across the road from the toddler Playground is Lighthouse Park at Amberton Beach – a large nautical‑themed Playground anchored by an 8.5m red‑and‑white lighthouse tower with two spiral slides, rope maze, marine‑themed spring rockers, sand factory, basketball court and kick‑about space, plus shade, BBQs and toilets. Combined with the quieter toddler‑focused Playground beside the beach and Amberton Beach Bar & Kitchen, Amberton Beach has become a fantastic destination for families with children of different ages, offering everything from gentler fenced toddler play to big‑kid thrills, café dining and a swim in the sea.

Overall, Amberton Beach Toddler Playground is a lovely choice for families with younger children, especially locals and those willing to drive north for a relaxed, beachside play. With its shaded, mostly fenced play space, toddler‑friendly equipment, barbecues, and easy access to the beach and nearby facilities, it’s a spot you’ll likely return to again and again.
