Anchoridge Park Playground on Buchanan Boulevard in Armstrong Creek is a standout adventure playground built in the shape of a giant anchor, with an 8.3-metre climbing structure featuring rock scrambles, a climbing net and a cube fort to spark imaginative play. Kids can also explore a wooden pirate ship with a metal slide, birds-nest swing, see-saw and a gentler tunnel slide for little ones. With shaded shelters, BBQs, a basketball court, sandpits, toilets and big grassy areas, it is a brilliant free day out for Geelong families of all ages.
Barwon Valley Fun Park on Barrabool Road in Belmont is one of Geelong's best-loved free playgrounds, famous for having the only flying fox in the region. Set beside the Barwon River with a clever river-ecology theme, it packs in a huge open sandpit with diggers, birds-nest swings, climbing frames with nets and ladders, spinning discs and a dedicated toddler area full of springers and a low slide structure. Wheelchair-accessible paths, shelters, BBQs and picnic tables along the river make it an easy all-day family destination. With separate zones for toddlers and big kids plus riverside walking tracks, it suits a wide age range in one visit.
