Boundless playground is Canberra’s first all abilities playground and is worth visiting if you need a break from sightseeing, as it’s in the centre of town inside King’s Park near the shores of Lake Burley Griffin.
The aim is to create a state-of-the-art play space that is fun and inclusive. Stage one of Boundless playground opened in October 2014 and stages two and three include installing more swings, a slide, a sensory garden, and interactive, musical and educational artworks and sculptures and a kiosk.
The fully fenced playground is zoned to cater to different ages and abilities. It features rarely found equipment, such as the accessible merry-go-round, see saw, reclining swing and water play area.
