Ginninderra Park

Rebecca and Max live in the suburb of Dunlop, which is part of greater Belconnen - one of Canberra's major districts. Close to the Belconnen town centre is Lake Ginninderra, an artificial creation that's very attractive and has good amenities. Max loves going there because he meets up with heaps of kids and the play equipment is first rate.

On Good Friday many families headed to the lake amidst lovely Autumn sunshine (and temperatures still about 21C). Max first play around a little waterfall which had lots of stepping stones he could run across (he didn't fall in).

Next came a traditional play area with lots of equipment. He didn't linger long because the flying fox beckoned and that was much more interesting. And, true to form, Max used it in ways not intended by the designers. He's very agile and creative.

And finally came the Fortress, a very large climbing frame with many platforms at different levels and all sorts of means of access and egress. He loved that, especially when he could hide and we tried to track him down. All told it was a fun day.
