Families who love sports will find the playground at Springfield Central Sports Complex to be a great destination. Set between netball courts and playing fields, the playground offers a wide range of equipment and a separate area for toddlers, making it ideal for children of all ages.
Springfield Central Sporting Complex Playground
The playground is built into a hill covered in soft fall, making it an exciting place to play. There is a large belt slide, which takes advantage of the slope. Scramble nets are located on either side of the slide to help kids climb up, while a wide slide provides a fun way back down to the ground to start all over again. Additionally, several cliff climbers and an area of rock-climbing grips provide a fun challenge for kids.
At the top of the hill sits a decently sized flying fox over a bark surface. Additionally, a circular basket swing provides a thrilling experience when given a super fast push.
There is a special area at the end of the playground designed for toddlers and preschoolers. It features spring riders for bouncing and a multi-person spinner. There is a fort that resembles a cubby house with a rope bridge connecting two pillars.
Two slides are available, one single and one double, as well as a spiral pole. Underneath the fort, there are musical chimes and some interactive elements that children can play with.
No playground is complete with swings and this playground is lucky to have a row of swings at the bottom of the hill, including regular swings, toddler swings, and a basket swing.
Imagination Factor at Springfield Central Sporting Complex Playground
This location is ideal for athletes and sports enthusiasts who are looking to push themselves to their limits and achieve their personal best. A large hill covered in soft fall provides an excellent opportunity for young competitors to challenge their friends and race up the obstacles.
Additionally, there are large rubber mounds decorated to look like giant sports balls, which will inspire children to bounce their way around the playground.

What We Thought of Springfield Central Sporting Complex Playground
We had a great time at this spot. My child enjoyed the flying fox and the orbiting net swing. He was delighted as he soared through the air. We appreciated that the equipment was suitable for a variety of ages.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience for us however, the multilevel design may make it difficult to see or follow your child during busy times.
