Darling Quarter is a relatively new entertainment precinct at Darling Harbour - it has everything you need for a great day out with the family or is just somewhere to enjoy a quick break from the hustle & bustle of the city. There is a range of nice eateries and shops plus Sydney CBD’s largest and newest free children’s playground!My family and I dropped by the Darling Quarter playground one sunny weekend, and the place was buzzing with activity. The playground is indeed bigger than the old one that it replaced and it had a crowd to match! If you can, try to visit the playground during the week to avoid the crowd.
The playground has an extensive water play area with locks, sluices, pumps and water buckets. There are also play areas for every age group, from synchronised water jets to flying foxes and big slide, octanet, jumbo swings, 3D swing, balancing beams, climbing walls and a spinning wheel.There's a little alfresco cafe just next to the playground for parents to relax while the children play. If you want a more comfortable sit-down meal, head to one of the many restaurants at Darling Quarter such as Stacks Taverna, Nok Nok Thai Eating House, Janus and more.

Special tip: If you are planning to bring the family to Darling Quarter, Sydney city's newest entertainment precinct with the CBD's largest playground - don't forget to bring swimming costumes for the kids and be prepared to get wet!

ReplyDeleteThe Darling Quarter playground is really impressive - it has a great variety of play areas to please every kid! Because it is still new, it tends to be crowded during the weekends. So if you can, do visit during the weekdays when it is more quiet and you can have more of the playground to yourself!
ReplyDeleteWe love the Darling Quarter playground! I'm sure the place will be packed out these coming school holidays. Thank you so much for sharing this at the weekly kids' co-op. I love this post so much that I simply must include it in my roundup of last week's link-up party. xoxo P
