Royal Park Nature Play Playground

Great for little kids and big kids. My grand kids (all 5 and under) spent half an hour climbing the grassy hill and rolling down. The space enables so much imaginative play. Just loved it.

Don't the pictures speak for themselves, what an adventure, more parks like this please. This is the best park I've come across. It's a hidden gem.

RCH provides an incredible service for both children and family. I was there in 2021 and I am so grateful for all the help and support I got. Everyone was professional and made me feel safe. I would highly recommend!

Fun enough, but it's probably aimed at kids 4-7. Many things are a bit too big for toddlers and wee kiddies. There are plenty of swings, but the chains are really short, so it's better catered to the toddler age group

A great kids playground to spend some quality time with you little ones. This is a very spacious playground and is located conveniently right next to Royal Children’s Hospital, Royal Melbourne and Royal Women’s Hospital are also a short drive.
Street parking is usually available but could be a problem to find a spot on weekends though.
It has lots of activities for kids. Highly recommended.

Perfect way to spend time waiting for appointments while at the Royal Children’s Hospital! This is a diverse playground with different zones catering to all ages (including adventurous adults!). Low and high ropes courses, various swings and slides, water and sand play/pumping stations and several other climbing structures make this nature playground perfect for expending energy and engaging in active and imaginative play. Always a highlight of our trips to the Children’s.

If you're looking for a fun place to take your kids, this spot is a must-visit. There are plenty of obstacle courses that both kids and parents will enjoy, but keep in mind that there isn't much shade, so be sure to come prepared with hats, sunscreen, and plenty of water. There's also a water fountain that kids love, so it's a good idea to bring extra clothes if you plan on staying a while. I personally recommend going in the late evening to avoid the heat of the day. And if you're planning a family BBQ, you're in luck! There are several BBQ facilities available for use. All in all, this is a great spot for families looking to enjoy a fun day outdoors together.

Absolutely amazing spot, we could have spent all day here. Creative and interesting equipment encouraging children to use their imagination and problem solve, right down to the different paths and access points between areas. Our one year old (not yet walking) was the youngest playing, and so many parents were getting involved too which was great. The big hill was perfect for rolling down, which the 3 year old loved, and we also went on a big walk/bike ride around the park. The pump/waterfall and sandpit combo were a favourite. We were there on a cool day but I can imagine shade would be an issue on warm days. Definitely recommend.

Oh my, fantastic place. I am liking my new place to go and exciting times when the huge slide was something I love and not only children/s love it the adults can take a chance to go down this giant slide too.great play area. ️️️️

Me and my wife have just found this beautiful park next to the children's hospital, have a walk around the area, there's plenty of playgrounds activities for children of all ages, will recommend to my relatives with children to visit here and planning to have a family BBQ sooner.

Taking my two and a half year old daughter to Royal Park Nature playground is a treat not only for kids but also adults trying to keep up. Sections are challenging, child user friendly options are enlightening. The water fall, dam, and combination sandpit are so much fun. The top of the hill is an ascension that rewards a panorama view of the beauty of Melbourne. Go and find your inner child here, as kids of all sizes young and old will find this place, stimulating, adventure full, and so much fun.

We entered this play area through the Royal children hospital. Very nice and relaxing. It has heaps of activity for kids. Also have bbq are too.
Toilet available.

As a carer of two small children, this park is not a place where you can sit and watch the children place. You are constantly following the children around as there's lots of spots where your children can't be seen. I highly recommend the water play areas.

Too much risky climbing gear good park otherwise not suitable for under 5 good that the swings are disabled friendly but the overall can be improved considering the location outside a children's hospital

A fantastic playground with extensive and well considered areas suitable for very young kids up to big kids. Lots of swings, slides and high ropes course. Fun water play area too. The best park ever?

Super well organised playground with activities for all ages. We love the water will and stream that creates

Incredibly well thought out and we'll maintained playground with imaginative and engaging equipment to explore. Located conveniently beside the Royal Melbourne Childrens Hospital and amongst the much larger natural environment of Royal Park bushland. This park is a model for what urban parkland and community spaces can be.

It's a great park. Well maintained. Plenty of space and plenty of things to do for the kids. It's a well designed park with lots of activities for kids of all age groups. When we come, we are sure to wear sun protection as it's a sun drenched park. There's lots of water play here, too, which sets this park apart from the rest.

A must visit park. We took our 16 month old there and she had such a fabulous time. There is something there for all ages big and small. If it is a warm day there is a water feature where children can run and play with water. So definitely pack bathers or change of clothes. A must park experience if you live or visiting Melbourne

Cool timber structures for climbing.
Must be one of the best parks in Melbourne for kids (and kidults)
