Dunbar Park Playground is the upgraded village playground at the centre of Avalon Beach, rebuilt in 2020 and designed to grow with kids. Two climbing towers, slides, a nature-play trail and an inclusive swing sit on soft fall in the middle of the village, with cafes and the library a few steps away.

Why We Love It

• Spans toddlers to primary gentle bits for little ones and two towers with real climbing challenges for older kids, so mixed-age siblings all get a go.

• Nature play in the mix a trail of climbing logs and steps plus carved timber details break up the usual metal-and-plastic equipment.

• Inclusive high-backed swing a supported swing seat makes it one of the more inclusive playgrounds in the area for kids who need extra back support.

• Step-free access to the equipment a flat path from the Bowling Green Lane car park runs right to the playground, simple with a pram, wheelchair or walker.
