Why it's worth checking out
Apex Park is a broad community recreation space in Hawthorndene, Mitcham, combining an oval, playground areas, tennis courts and BMX facilities. It offers practical amenities for a visit, including toilets, an electric barbecue, picnic area, shelter, seating and a drinking fountain near the playground and oval.
Families have several play options to choose from, with junior and youth equipment, swings, a slide, see-saw, Action Station and Hang n Glide.
