Nestled in a quiet pocket of Wilson, Andrew’s Park is a spacious, family-friendly Playground that’s perfect for curious little explorers. With a mix of open grass, sand play, and sensory elements, it’s the kind of park where kids can roam, climb, and imagine, while parents relax nearby.
One of the first things you’ll notice is the generous open grass area. This wide, flat space is ideal for ball games, chasing bubbles, or simply running off energy. It’s also perfect for spreading out a picnic rug under the surrounding mature trees, which provide welcome natural shade at different times of day. Benches positioned close to the play equipment give adults a comfortable vantage point to sit and supervise.
Younger children will enjoy the mini nature play nook tucked to one side of the park. Simple but effective, this area features wooden beams and stepping logs set into mulch, giving toddlers and preschoolers a safe spot to practice balancing, hopping, and climbing. It offers a gentle introduction to nature play without being too challenging for little legs.
The main Playground is fully sand-based and packed with sensory and interactive elements. Children can test their strategy skills at the giant tic-tac-toe board, explore the various sensory panels, or create their own tunes on the large xylophone, which is always a hit with budding musicians.
A basket swing offers inclusive swinging fun for different ages and abilities, while a sensory sand table encourages digging, scooping, and imaginative play.
The star attraction at Andrew’s Park is the multi-level main play structure, designed to encourage both physical challenges and imaginative games. Active kids will love the range of climbing options, including a rope spider-web climber, upright rope tunnel ladder, monkey bars, rock climbing wall, and mini zipline. These features are great for burning energy and building strength and confidence.
There’s also a slide for a quick whoosh back down to the sand, as well as bridge crossover sections that link different parts of the structure.
Imaginative play is well catered for too. A pretend play shop invites kids to set up their own little store or café, complete with all the role-play possibilities that come with it.
A steering wheel and a telescope add to the fun, perfect for little captains and explorers keeping lookout over their “ship” or “fort”. Together, these elements create a play environment that encourages creativity, social play, and storytelling.
While there are no shade sails over the equipment, the surrounding mature trees help to filter the sun and provide pockets of shade, particularly in the mornings and late afternoons. It’s worth keeping sun protection and the time of day in mind if you’re planning a longer visit, especially in the warmer months.
Families should note a few practical points before heading out. There are no toilets at Andrew’s Park, and no water fountain on-site, so it’s a good idea to bring plenty of water and plan bathroom breaks accordingly. If you’re looking to pair Playground time with coffee or a snack, the closest café is Lo Quay River Café, just a short drive away along the river – a lovely spot to visit before or after your play.
With its sensory-rich equipment, open green space, and natural shade from established trees, Andrew’s Park is a lovely option for families seeking a relaxed, engaging outdoor play spot in Wilson. It’s particularly well suited to early primary school children and younger kids who enjoy climbing, exploring, and imaginative play in a calm neighbourhood setting.
