6. Endeavour Park

If your little one is obsessed with ships and pirates, Endeavour Park’s design pays tribute to Captain Cook’s HMB Endeavour and is guaranteed to be a hit.

From the shape of the sandpit, which represents Cook’s voyage to Tahiti, to a replica of the ship’s deck in rubber with swings representing the masts, this creative and cool play space serves up a slice of history alongside fun equipment to keep the kids entertained.

Dog owners will love the fenced off-leash area for pups, which means furry family members can happily get their exercise hit at the same time as their human siblings.
