About Tamarama Park
Playground at Tamarama Park
Tamarama Park has a children's playground with swings, slides, see-saws and climbing structures. The playground is small and unfenced, and it is partially shaded. Most of its play area has soft-fall surfacing, and seating surrounds the equipment so carers have clear views. The playground caters primarily to toddlers and older children. Tamarama Park's playground is reached by a wide paved pathway that leads to an open grassed area, but it has no direct paved entry into the play space, which may limit access for some wheelchair users.
Picnic and Barbecue Areas at Tamarama Park
Tamarama Park has barbecue facilities in the area beside the playground, and the park has several barbecues in total. Tamarama Park has sheltered and unsheltered picnic tables with fixed benches near the play space, reached over grass. Covered tables face either the beach or the playground, and open grassed areas give Tamarama Park further space to spread out. Tamarama Park has bins and a bubbler for drinking water. Tamarama Park is well suited to family picnics, and its shade extends across parts of the grassed park.
