Boundless Playground

The Boundless Playground sits in Kings Park on Wendouree Drive near Lake Burley Griffin in central Canberra. A much-loved all-abilities playground, it's a genuine community treasure — a large, thoughtfully designed inclusive playground where children of all abilities can play together, set in a lovely parkland location by the lake, the kind of wonderful, welcoming space that families adore.

The appeal is that combination of a fantastic, inclusive all-abilities playground and a beautiful lakeside parkland setting: with plenty of play equipment designed for children of all abilities, room to run and explore and the lake and parkland all around, it's a brilliant spot for a family day out, a play and a picnic. Its thoughtful, inclusive design makes it a genuine standout among the city's playgrounds.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 460 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The playground is free and open, but facilities and any events vary, and parking time limits apply in parts of the surrounding area, so it's worth taking sun protection and checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a family play and a picnic by the lake, you can generally just turn up and enjoy the Boundless Playground in Canberra.
