Marsiling Park Playgrounds

Butterfly Playground

Butterfly PlaygroundSet beside the Marsiling Park lake is the Butterfly Playground.

Marsiling Park Butterfly PlaygroundDrawing inspiration from the many butterflies found around the park, this Marsiling Park Playground is in the form of a larger-than-life butterfly. An orange mound forms its body while its wings are outlined by yellow steel tubes. The surface of the butterfly playground’s wings are made of red cargo netting, laid out so that kids can climb up on.

Butterfly Playground and its feelersTwo “feelers” extend from the head of the butterfly with climbing “saucers” hanging off them.

Play structure at Musical PlaygroundIf you are wondering if there are any slides at the Marsiling Park Playgrounds, you will find them at the Musical Playground.

Sound playgroundThe playground has a lime green play tower which incorporates two slides.

Crocodile Stepping StonesIt also has a cute set of crocodile and mushroom stepping stones that lead from one end of the play structure back to the middle. Perfect for kids who want to play-pretend that they have to avoid falling into the river.

Musical InstrumentHowever, the musical playground is so-called because of the row of musical instruments lined up facing the Marsiling Park lake. This ensemble includes tubular bells, congas, a xylophone, bell lyre and hand drums.

Kids can “jam” together at this musical setup.
