If you’re visiting Frankston Beach with kids don’t miss the Frankston Regional Foreshore Playground, an imaginative adventure playground that’s affectionately known as the ‘castle playground’.

The setting is part fairy tower, part Dracula’s castle, and there’s so much fun to be had that it’s a worthy drawcard away from the stunning sandy beach just a few metres away.

The playground contains numerous castles, forts, a sandpit with digger, numerous swings (including a Liberty swing), slides, climbing frames, monkey bars, flying fox. There’s even a pirate ship!

Note there are separate play spaces for toddlers and older kids so no one misses out.
