Gore Hill Park - Artarmon - Sydney - Review

The Gore Hill Park in Artarmon reopened in April this year after a major $10.5 million project redevelopment. The inclusive playground has some fantastic features which includes water play troughs, a quad swing, plastic slides, play towers with rope bridges, climbing nets and metal slides, a spinning carousel, a basket swing, sensory stepping stones, musical instrument corner and a breaching whale log sculpture.

The kids enjoyed the variety of things to do at this beautiful nature play playground and were happy exploring bit by bit. We were there for a couple of hours until it was dinner time.

Kids will love the musical setup as well as the carousel, climbing net and basket swing at the other end of the playground. Parents will love the picnic area with wheelchair accessible tables, BBQ’s and bubblers. A great playground for everyone to enjoy - we loved it!
