Muddy's Playground

Muddy's playground is open every day of the year between 9am and 7pm (including public holidays and weekends). Sections of Muddy's are closed for maintenance on Tuesday and Thursday mornings until noon. Even when maintenance works are being carried out, Council aims to have at least half the playground available for use. Muddy's is a modern, fun, safe, splash playground and parkland. It incorporates active, passive, interactive and educational facilities with a combination of play equipment. Muddy's playground is themed "Life in Trinity Bay" and the playground includes water play areas plus a flying fox, sound chimes, track ride, rope bridge, slides, play houses, story telling areas, see-saw, trick track and puzzle games. Please note that the disabled-use Liberty Swing uses the MLAK national keying system. For access please ask at Muddy's cafe. Muddy's has two toilet facilities one at the north end of Muddy's near the cafe and one at the southern end of Muddy's. Muddy's has barbecues, picnic tables and an on-site cafe.

Tamworth Marsupial Park

The Marsupial Park is a native animal experience unlike any other in NSW, the 14-hectare park has free entry. Children can get close to kangaroos, wallabies, cockatoos and emus, spot the species in the free-flight aviary and hand feed the Indian peacocks. Within the Marsupial Park is the community-built Adventure Playground which has two distinct areas: one for under-5s and another for over-5s. It encourages children to use their fine and gross motor-skills – and of course, their imagination. There are barbecue facilities and bathrooms.

Reviewed By boardbaddy - North Sydney, Australia

This free attraction is the BEST attraction in town if you have young kids. The park inside is fun and well maintained, the animals are great and interactive. It’s all run by volunteers (make sure you help out in the little red box on the way out) and a lot of the animals are rescued. Whilst you see more animals with damaged wings or singe legs the character of these cheeky residents shine through. Go and give it a go, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Figtree Playground

Reviewed By Siegfried2K - Indianapolis, United States

The Figtree Playground is right downtown Cairns. An entire play area has been built in and around this giant tree with many aerial roots (see my picture and others). This is a delightful playground that is perfect for children ages 4-14. Visiting the playground could be a good filler between other activities, or a place to spend some energy when the children need to run. The playground is surrounded by lawn on one side, and a pier with coffee shops and such on the other side. There are no tickets, no staff, no reservations. Just show up and have fun.

Lovely area for families and friends to have some outdoor time close to the town. The park has a water way with ducks, which amuse adults and children alike. There are undercover areas - some have bbq's, and play areas for children, plus amenities. What more could you want for a relaxing time. There is even a gazebo where wedding ceromonies are often performed (weddings are also just in the park not in the gazebo)
