Lincoln Square playground - Carlton - Melbourne - Review

The Lincoln Square playground recently reopened after a major facelift. The Lincoln Square was home to the first public playground in Victoria and play continues to be an important part of the square. The NEW playground is designed around the 150-year-old Moreton Bay Figs.

The Lincoln Square playground is a great place to catchup with family and friends over a picnic or bbq or coffee to get the kids out of the house and climb everything and have fun in the fresh air and use those core muscles!
