Westburn Park is an average suburban playground but with a difference - it has a mini road system set up for kids. There are roundabouts, Give Way and Stop signs, a railroad crossing, pedestrian crossings, one way bridges, etc.
The kids LOVE this place. They could happily spend a couple of hours here, mostly riding their bikes around, but also taking turns at being pedestrians on the little footpaths, or just going and playing on the playground equipment.
It's aimed at kids aged up to about 8 years old.
Where: Westburn Terrace in Burnside. It runs between Greers and Grahams Road, on the south side of Memorial Ave. If you prefer, there is an alleyway to the park from Memorial Ave, opposite Burnside High.
Facilities: Toilets, drinking fountain, playground equipment, shady trees to sit under and a couple of park benches.

I agree this park topped my favourites when I was growing up. And I don't think my parents realised that haha. It gives children the opportunity to experience driving on city streets without fear of doing serious damage.
oe I remember this park, was defiantly in my top 5 parks to play at as a kid. I remember it used to have train tracks, I guess they gave it an upgrade.
