O’Gorman Street Park at Alexandra Hills

O’Gorman Street park at Alexandra Hills is a fantastic local park that takes up the slope on one side of a hill.  There is plenty of green space, trees, picnic facilities and a fun and unique playground.

This playground incorporates the hill slope in clever and interesting ways with a large tunnel slide, a cargo net, a wide metal slide and other elements making the most of the geography.  Children will enjoy climbing up the slope and sliding down it again over and over again.

At the top of the hill are some stepping logs and a spinning pedal bike as well as nature play elements, and below the slope are musical elements, a merry-go-round, swings, a toddler climbing fort.  There’s also a ribbon of sand through this section with a crocodile and stepping stones made from a soft fall style material.

There is also a basketball half court with two hoops here so feel free to pack a ball.  The wide concrete paths criss cross the slope of the hill and would suit scooters or bikes.  This park is also dotted with garden beds and nature play elements like sandstone blocks and wooden logs.

While it’s not fenced, the playground is set back from the street and is small enough to supervise fairly easily.
