Walking Tour of the Playgrounds of Erskineville
A walking tour of the playgounds of Erskineville was held in April last year to show the community our unique and imaginitive playgrounds in Erskineville. The tour took parents and kids to parks of all shapes and sizes, and showed them the kinds of experiences the City has provided in Erskineville area.
Parents and kids had so much fun together trying out new play equipment at the parks and playgrounds. You can download our self-guided map and take the tour whenever it suits you.
