Camperdown Playground

Apex Park Playground in Camperdown offers a diverse play experience across its expansive grounds. A concrete path leads to a metal tunnel slide atop a hill, accompanied by a metal drum and a scrambling wall with orange frog handholds. At the base, children can enjoy a stand-on spinner, bird's nest swing, four standard swings (including one with a harness), and an inverted U-shaped see-saw. This area features a shelter with a table and unshaded BBQs. Additional amenities include a basketball court, cricket nets, and exercise equipment such as a sit-up bench, aerobic cycle, body twist, body pull, and push-ups. Adjacent to the Camperdown Community House, a fenced sandpit with shade sails, a digger, sand play tables, a bike springer, a toddler swing, a lotus leaf spinner with a hand wheel, and a wooden cubby with an abacus provide engaging activities. Another section boasts two flying foxes (one with a harness and one with a disk seat) and a rope climbing net resembling a ship's mast, surrounded by logs, rocks, and a distorting mirror. The playground also offers toilets, a water tap, a bocce court (BYO balls), and a "Birds of the Plains" mural on the toilet block. Animal and bird tracks are embedded into the paths, adding to the charm. Due to its spread-out nature and proximity to a busy highway, supervision is recommended.
