1. 1.Bring a picnic blanket and lunch to take advantage of the shaded areas, as Bayside can get quite sunny and hot, especially in summer months.
2. 2.Pack sunscreen and hats for the kids, as Australian UV levels are extremely high year-round compared to most Northern Hemisphere countries.
3. 3.Visit early morning (before 10am) to avoid the midday heat and catch the playground before it gets busy on weekends.
4. 4.Street parking is typically available on Dendy Street, but arrive early on weekends when local families fill the area.
5. 5.The playground has minimal shade over play equipment itself, so plan visits for cooler parts of the day or cloudy weather.
