Forestville War Memorial Playground Sydney

Photos Updated 19th October 2023 - NEW playground facilities.

The Forestville War Memorial Playground known locally as ‘Poppy Park’ is located off Melwood Avenue in Forestville right next to the Forestville RSL. It is a great fully fenced playground which suits young and older children. We love the poppies around the grass area to signify remembrance.

The Forestville War Memorial Playground received an upgrade and was completed around Winter 2023 to increase the space and include a new main structure with climbing areas and slides as featured below which includes a bucket swing too. It has some shade over the structure.

This playground is great to have a play, a picnic, a little gathering or a birthday party and use the bbq equipment inside and outside of the playground and eat under gazebos with tables and benches. There is a lawn area next to the playground which some people use for sports practice or for birthday activities.
