The Canopy Playground

Last updated February 2026

The Canopy Playground is a unique elevated play space located within the natural bushland of Lane Cove National Park in Sydney's north. It offers an adventurous outdoor experience for children, designed to mimic a treehouse or canopy walk. The playground features suspended walkways, climbing nets, and various play structures nestled amongst the trees, providing a fun and engaging environment. It's situated on Rosenthal Avenue, making it accessible for families exploring the greater Lane Cove area. The natural setting offers a refreshing alternative to traditional playgrounds, encouraging imaginative play and physical activity in a beautiful Australian bush setting. **What to Bring** Sunscreen and insect repellent. Water bottles. A picnic blanket and snacks. Comfortable shoes for climbing. **Best Age Range** Best for children aged 5–12 years. Younger children may need closer supervision on the higher structures, while older children will enjoy the climbing and balancing challenges. **Good to Know** Parking is available nearby but can be limited during peak times. There are no food facilities on site, so pack all your own refreshments. The playground is primarily an outdoor structure and is subject to weather conditions. Accessibility to all parts of the playground may be challenging for strollers or wheelchairs. **Nearby** Lane Cove National Park offers walking trails and picnic areas. The Chatswood area has a large shopping centre with a popular indoor play centre and cinema. **Tips From Other Parents** Pack a change of clothes – kids often get muddy or wet. Visit on a weekday morning for a less crowded experience. Combine with a walk along one of the park's trails for a full day of outdoor fun.
