The massive, 3,500m² Marine Cove playground is zoned into two separate areas for littles (aged 2 to 5) and bigger kids (5 to 12). Read our full review of East Coast Park’s Marine Cove playground here.

Tip: make sure you go there in the early morning or late afternoon, as this outdoor playground is not covered.

Also a heads up – it’s right next to McDonald’s, so you may get a request for some french fries or a hot fudge sundae after a whole day of play.
