Located in the new Oakdene Estate area of Ocean Grove, this park and playground is a fantastic recreation area that offers a place for the kids to play, ride their bikes, or go for a walk.
There is a large grass area in the centre, a number of sealed and unsealed pathways and beautiful landscaped gardens. A playground is located in the corner of the reserve and features a range of equipment for children of all ages.
The equipment includes:
Large Pirate Ship Play Structure, which includes a double slide, climbing surfaces, noughts and crosses panel and fireman's pole
A Large Rope Climbing Structure
The bouncy boat, with room for several children to play inside
The talk/listen speaking tube on the pirate ship enables children underneath the ship to communicate with those on the upper deck.
A small tunnel under the pirate ship
The double slide at the back of the pirate ship
Noughts and Crosses Panel on the pirate ship
The mini climbing wall
Next to the pirate ship there are several rope climbing structures

At the time of publishing, the park hadn't been named and was unlisted on the City of Geelong website, but it appears on Google Maps, and is located between Empress Boulevard, Sacramento Street and Omega Drive (it's the first park/playground on your left as you enter Oakdene Estate at the Grubb Road/Empress Boulevard traffic lights).
Overall, it's a good park with nice, well-maintained play equipment, and a great spot for having a short walk or stopping for a picnic.
Extra Information:
Seating: There's seating available near the playground, and also at various other points around the park.
