New play equipment popped up along the Tuggerah Lake Cycleway at Long Jetty in March 2019 and it’s super popular with locals!

The playground is situated opposite Elsiemer Street – just footsteps from Long Jetty Wharf. It’s also about a five-minute walk to Long Jetty’s main strip and cafés. It has replaced Tuggerah Parade Playground, which used to sit roughly 200m away.

The main play structure has two slides and rope walls, a climbing wall, a cubby shop window, a rope bridge, a match game, a noughts and crosses board, and spinning balls.

In front of the play structure is a spinner, and to the side of it is a swing set with a bucket baby swing and a regular swing. There is also a basket swing.

We visited once after school and once on the weekend and on both occasions there was a lot of excitement over the new equipment. It’s the perfect pitstop when out for a bike ride along the cycleway, as kids can play and parents or carers can sit and enjoy the lake breeze.
