Pencil Park Playground

Why parents pick this

Pencil Park on Armstrong Boulevard in Armstrong Creek (Mount Duneed) is a charming, imaginatively themed playground where giant timber pencils line a painted blue river full of fish. The main wooden play structure packs in slides, a fireman's pole, tunnel, climbing wall, rope net, spiral ladder and balance beam, with a separate sandpit featuring a speedboat rocker, digger and speak-and-listen panel for younger kids. Family-friendly extras include shaded shelter and tables, BBQs, a water tap, grassy run-around space, an outdoor gym and a basketball half-court with soccer goals. Its creative design and gentle equipment make it especially great for toddlers and primary-aged children in Geelong's growing southern suburbs.
