We've all stopped for lunch on the side of the road, serenaded by trucks and choking on fumes. Eating as quickly as we can, we tell ourselves it's not that bad. We pile the family back in the car, travel 200m down the road only to discover the park of all parks, with manicured lawns, bbqs, shelter and play equipment that would satisfy the toughest of critic. Thats why we're searching for the best places for the kids to run off all that excess energy.  We need your help, if you know of an exceptional park that has: 

- play equipment catering for all ages
- toilets including disabled
- shelter, chairs and bbqs
- plenty of room for kids to run safely

Parks and playgrounds are the ultimate in free entertainment for the kids and families. Together we can compile a list of the best in the country email us playgrounds@byokids.com.au.
