Dick Jones Reserve, Lang Lang

Welcome to Dick Jones Reserve, the ultimate playground experience for children of all ages! The recently upgraded playground, courtesy of the Cardinia Shire Council, boasts a plethora of exciting features that will surely make your child’s day.

At the heart of this playground are two linked structures that house some of the most thrilling play equipment you can imagine. From the tornado to the flying fox, your child will feel the rush of adrenaline as they swing through the air. And that’s not all – the playground also features a 2-bay A-frame swing with basket, toddler and strap seats, perfect for a more traditional play experience. For those who love a bit of adventure, there are two tunnel slides, one red and one blue, that will take your child on a twisting and turning ride to the bottom.

But the fun doesn’t stop there – the rest of the playground is filled with exciting pieces that will engage your child’s imagination and encourage active play. The orbs, xylophone, dolphin rocker, jitterbug, stainless play hoop and castaway boat provide endless opportunities for imaginative play, socializing with friends, and getting active.

Safety is a top priority at Dick Jones Reserve, which is why the majority of the playground is installed over mulch softfall. Additionally, bright and colorful rubber patterns are incorporated into the design, which not only add to the fun but also provide a non-slip surface for safer play. Shade is also provided for comfort and protection from the sun.

The playground structures are linked with a selection of rock walls, adding to the challenge and excitement. The structures also feature a tube net, stairs, bridges, climbing cube with a high slide, and a steering wheel, allowing your child to exercise their coordination, balance, and problem-solving skills.

But the benefits of play go beyond just physical activity. Play is essential for a child’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. It allows them to explore their environment, develop their imagination, and learn how to interact with others. Playing outdoors also promotes a connection to nature, which has been shown to improve mental health and well-being.

In summary, the upgraded Dick Jones Reserve playground is the perfect place for your child to get active, have fun, and develop important skills in a safe and stimulating environment. So come on down and let your child’s imagination run wild!
