The fig playground is right in the center of Cairns. A complete play area is built around this huge tree with lots of gas roots (see my photos and other pictures). It is a pleasant playground and perfect for children aged 4-14. Visiting the playground could be a nice addition between other activities or a place to spend some energy when kids need to run. One side of the playground is surrounded by lawns, the other side is a pier with coffee shops etc. No tickets, no staff, no reservations. Just show up and have fun.
