Seacrest Park Sorrento

Seacrest Park in Sorrento ticks a lot of boxes for parents and carers.

Fully fenced playground – tick.

Large range of playground equipment suitable for various ages – tick.

A picnic table and seating within the fenced space – double tick.

So it’s unsurprising the area can get a little busy, especially after school. But its big, with enough different activities that it doesn’t feel crowded.

The play space is predominantly sand, with soft fall around the edge and at the swing set. The main play structure has stairs that toddlers can navigate without much help and a platform to a small slide. Young children will need a bit of supervision if they go further along the bridge to a larger spiral slide.

While most of the equipment is best suited to older kids, there is plenty to keep littlies entertained at ground level, including a ‘shop window’ and climbing hole.

There are also two spring rockers on opposite sides of the playground.

There are a lot of components that will get kids moving their bodies, with several sets of monkey bars, a chain climbing frame, moving balance beam, climbing wall and balance disc walk. In no time, they will be swinging, climbing and jumping around the playground.

The area is set away from trees, but in summer, shade sails provide some shelter.

Seacrest Park is a large community oval, with sports often taking over the grounds on weekends and evenings. It hosts events such as food truck nights in the warmer months. It’s also very popular with dog walkers but thanks to the fenced playground, those with an aversion to our furry friends can keep their distance. But there’s plenty of space for kicking and throwing a ball, or running around. When it’s not peak times, you’ll find more than enough parking available in the adjacent car park.

The playground offers plenty to keep children entertained, and if you can nab a spot at the picnic table, you may even get a chance to take 5 while they burn off some of their energy.
