Glenbrook Park with its splendid playground makes a great stop in the Blue Mountains when you’re driving with kids. Or even a fun day trip from Sydney.
Glenbrook Park and Playground
Address: Ross St, Glenbrook, NSW, 2773
Glenbrook Park playground is spacious and has a railway theme. It is located just off the highway behind the Blue Mountains Visitors Centre. At the foot of the Blue Mountains, it is perfectly placed for breaking up a long car journey with kids.
Glenbrook Park playground has terrific play equipment for toddlers and young children with low level tunnels and activities for creative play. There is a larger climbing frame in a different area of the park for older children. There are also swings and a small slide.
Within the park there are tennis courts, an open grassy area big enough for ball sports, covered picnic tables and BBQs. Glenbrook Park itself is really flat by Blue Mountains standards so is perfect for a walk with a pram or little legs! It also seems popular with dog walkers. The park is just a short walk to the main street of Glenbrook which has a selection of lovely cafes and antique shops.
Toilets/Baby change: Yes
Nearest takeaway coffee: There is a coffee machine in the visitors centre however there are also cafes just across the road from the park for a larger range of refreshments
Enclosed: Yes, fully fenced with secure gates. Some play equipment outside the main fenced playground too.
Shade: Yes over most of the picnic tables and some shade from trees however the majority of the play equipment is in the sun
Parking: Parking is limited at the Visitor Centre and at times can be really busy however there is also street parking nearby.
Mum’s report: A perfect place to stop if you are travelling from Sydney to the Mountains for bathroom and leg stretching purposes. The park is not fenced at all and the carpark is busy so you need to keep a close eye on little runners!
Extra: The visitors centre has loads of maps and information on all of the Blue Mountains and the staff are really friendly.

Jellybean Pool with its steep but short walk is very close to this playground. These two are the best things to do in Glenbrook NSW!
