About North Street Playground
Dog Areas at North Street Playground
North Street Playground has designated on-leash and off-leash areas for dogs, so owners can walk a dog on the lead or let it run free in the right zone. Dogs are prohibited inside the playground, which keeps the play equipment for children only. This arrangement gives North Street Playground a clear split between dog walking and children's play, which suits households that visit with both a dog and young children.
Junior Playground at North Street Playground
North Street Playground has junior playground equipment that suits toddlers and younger children. The park is fenced, which gives it a defined boundary, and its play equipment is set among landscaped garden beds with sandstone edging. North Street Playground offers a compact, neighbourhood-scale play setting rather than a large destination playground. The park also has picnic tables where parents and carers can sit down for a snack break.
Half Court and Open Grass at North Street Playground
North Street Playground has a half basketball/netball court that suits shooting hoops or small-group netball practice rather than full-sized games. The park also contains open grass areas where children can play informal ball games. Council classifies North Street Playground as a neighbourhood park with an area of 4,264 m², so families can combine ball play with a visit to the playground in one compact park.
