β What Makes This Park Special
Family Playground Fun β
This park is a real winner for the little tackers, with two climbing areas, slides, swings and spinning gear all set on rubbery flooring to soften any tumbles. It caters well for kids up to about 10 years old, giving them plenty of space to run, ride scooters or kick a ball. Parents can relax nearby on shaded benches or picnic tables while keeping an eye on the ankle-biters. The baby swing is a hit too, though a heads-up that some equipment needs a bit of maintenance.
