The Dick Lawrence Oval Playground in Beaconsfield has undergone a massive upgrade.
The centrepiece is a 3-level treehouse with a twisty slide and a smaller dual flat slide.
To encourage all-inclusive access there are multiple entry points into the cubby – ramp, through the floor ladder, a timber climbing wall and a rock-climbing wall.
In the centre of the playground is a timber climber with a cargo rope ladder balancing logs and climbing ramps along the side.
The playground is mainly nature play-based with a sand play table with a pulley, balancing beam steppers, timber logs and boulders spread throughout with an accessible bird nest swing on the matting surface area.
There is a lovely xylophone for music play and a sensory board on the first floor of the cubby house.
The playground is alongside the Brad Hardie Sporting complex & oval, surrounded by lovely huge trees that provide fantastic shade cover. The gardens are newly landscaped with natives and have bench seats and picnic tables.
In the coming weeks, a new free gas BBQ area will be installed.
Don’t just bring the balls for a run around the oval; throw the frisbee in the bag as well. Around Hilton Oval is a Disc Golf Course. There are 9 holes laid out around the oval, they are clearly laid out and well marked with the tee signs for each hole and a mainboard at tee #1 with the map and rules of the game.
There are toilets at the Brad Hardie Sporting Complex, however, these may not always be open. On the opposite side of the oval alongside the half basketball court, there are public toilets and a water fountain.
The car park closest to the playground is small, but there is plenty of verge parking along Lefroy Road.
