Pirrama Park Playground

Pirrama Park Playground is a spacious, partially fenced play area in Pyrmont, Sydney, set within the scenic harbourside Pirrama Park. It is shaded and designed for children of different ages, including infants and pre-schoolers, with equipment suitable for all children.

The playground’s standout features include an accessible roundabout and a water play area, giving families options for active play and hands-on exploration. The surrounding park also includes picnic and barbecue areas, while a café and toilets are located next to the playground. Its position by the harbour makes it a pleasant spot to combine playtime with time outdoors.

The park has a strong local story. The area was known as Pirrama to the Gadigal people, and the wider foreshore has previously been home to public baths, ferry access, industrial wharves and the NSW Water Police site. Pirrama Park’s newer foreshore section opened in 2010 after the land was preserved as public recreation space, following community opposition to plans for high-rise apartments. The Stevedore Walk also reflects the area’s more recent working harbour history.

It suits families looking for an inclusive playground in Sydney, particularly those who value shade, nearby facilities and a harbourside setting. The park is close to public transport, with the 389 bus running to the end of Harris Street; there is no ferry service from the park.
