Hornsby families, it’s time to gear up for some serious outdoor excitement! The newly upgraded Brickpit Park Playground in Thornleigh has officially launched, and it's packed with awesome new features that are perfect for kids to explore.

Whether your little ones are budding ninja warriors, water play enthusiasts, or just love a good swing, there's something here for everyone!

What's New at the New Brickpit Park Playground?

As far as what most Sydney kids look for in a new playground, Brickpit Park Playground has got the goods, including Ninja Warrior courses and water play!
 

The standout additions to the new playground include:

• Junior Ninja Warrior course: Watch as older kids test their strength, agility, and speed on this thrilling obstacle course. A solar-powered mounted stopwatch lets them challenge themselves—or their friends—to beat the clock!
• Water play area: With in-ground water sprays to cool off during Sydney's warmer days, the water play area is bound to be a hit with younger children and their siblings alike.
• Nature and inclusive play: Nature-inspired elements and inclusive equipment ensure kids of all abilities can join in on the fun. The beloved swings, climbing equipment, and flying fox from the original playground have been thoughtfully retained.
   

More Reasons to Visit

The new Brickpit Playground is also a fantastic spot for a family day out, with outdoor essential on offer, including:

• Shady and comfortable spaces: Larger picnic shelters, shade sails, and additional trees make it easy for families to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
• Safety and accessibility: Fencing around the playground keeps little adventurers secure, while accessible toilets (installed last year) make the park welcoming for all.

A Tribute to Local History

Adding a unique layer to this fantastic space is a nod to its heritage as a former brickworks. A brick wall showcases a collection of historic bricks donated by local collector Warwick Gemmell, while inlaid ground details honour the legacy of the National Brickworks Co. It's a playful and educational touch that gives the playground even more character.

Whether your family loves challenging obstacle courses, splashing around, or simply relaxing in a beautifully designed park, the Brickpit Playground is the perfect destination. Pack your picnic, bring your sense of adventure, and let the fun begin!
