If you feel like exploring parks in the nation's capital with the children, head to Yerrabi Pond on Canberra's north side. The adventure playground has a giant flying fox and a large junior play area. The Liberty Swing is ideal for all ability users.

Yerrabi has a senior and junior skate park. There's a dirt bike jump circuit suitable for all skill levels at the southern end of the park.

The undercover barbecues make it an ideal spot for a picnic lunch or dinner. Shaded areas will help keep you cool in summer and there's several hectares of irrigated grass.
