The Ian Potter Children’s Wild Play Garden

What a beautiful play area for children. The water play was especially popular but the gardens are really beautiful to walk around in. My grandson started building a little house of sticks and leaves around the balance beam. Beautiful shade and flowers for all to enjoy.

Fantastic play area for children of all ages. Beautiful foliage and clever equipment built as part of nature.

⛲ is turned off during winter, but still heaps of fun to be had!

Bamboo forest, slide, climbing, rocks and plenty of paths to wander about.

Great place for kids, interesting and challenging design makes for a very engaging visit for them. Excellent slide at the top of a beautiful wooden climbing structure which effectively blocks all but the most nimble adult, stop the kids regulate the space themselves, which works really well. Water play area is still functioning well after years of use. A must visit if you have young kids

Remarkable wild play area and children's water park. Rightly hugely popular. The children's delight is so heart-warming. What an amazing free amenity. Highly recommended for little Sydneysiders. 😍

Has to be one of the best playgrounds in Australia. There should be more playgrounds like this that are a blend of nature and play. Fun for all ages. Beautiful setting with bamboo, flowers & plants everywhere. Amazing water play area with fountains, waterfall & misting.

Such a magical place to engage with nature. So many different play spaces to keep the little ones busy. Fully fenced too which is awesome! It’s a large area with tunnels, bamboo forests and pathways so keep an eye on your kids because it is easy to loose sight of them. We love this spot!

A fantastic play ground. Lots of shade, nature, play equipment and water fountains. Such a great place. Parking can be slightly difficult but not that bad.

What an amazing play area for kids! It's also a great place for families. The water fountains are so much fun for the kids. Highly recommended 🍀💙

Fantastic play area for kids. The water fountains are fun but can get crowded on weekends and holidays. The slide is quite up and high and it may take a few tries for children to get comfortable with it. There is a bamboo jungle that you can wall through as well as relatively clean toilets at the back. Overall, a great place for families and kids to visit.

Amazing, free play area for children in Centennial Park. Would recommend more for children ages 2+.

It's one of the best playgrounds for small children in the world - tracks, water & sun for the kids; plants, shadow & educational part for the parents. Small area and a lot to do. NB! Don't forget swimwear stuff!

Really beautiful place to bring children to play - there’s so much to do and so much to look at. We love it!

People with crawling babies I'd invest in some water knee pads as the water area is not comfortable for crawling babies. Even when it's busy so much space to picnic. Bring a picnic blanket to lounge

Our first time here. Sadly Centennial Park is so dry at the moment but Ian Potters was like a little Oasis. Lush green areas to sit and have a picnic, lots of bamboo, great for hiding behind in a game of house and seek. There is a water play section that has been turned off due to the water restrictions but it looks fun too.
Great climbing structure, bridges, slide.
Toilet facilities were clean and there was an ice cream truck there too.

Our kids living coming here. Slides and tunnels and maze like forest. All with easy parking and clean facilities. Heaps of shade means the kids can explore even on the hottest day.
The spiralling slide is a very popular way to use up energy.

Great safe setting for kids to engage in water play.

Fantastic playground for the kids. Great water play and awesome slide. Just be careful with some of the sharp rocks and slippery surfaces. Often an ice cream Van here, but the it can be rather pricey.

Beautiful playground amongst various types of forests (tropical, bamboo...). A super-fun trail with Tibetan bridge leads to a pretty high slide that also 3 years olds can get down from by themselves (however parents can join the tots).
A food truck is on the premises for any possible munchies.

It's quite nice today, you have a unlimited time car park. and sometimes they have an activity for the Kids during the holidays.

Excellent young kids play area. Very impressed. I wish every big park had this kind of "wild" area inside it.

The only flaw was that the ice cream stall was shut and it caused a minor revolution, but it was a good lesson.
