β What Makes This Park Special
Family Playground Fun β
The playground at Pumicestone Lions Park is a hit with the little tackers, offering a quaint play area that keeps kids entertained. While most equipment is great, a few mates mentioned the flying fox is tricky and a bit of a shin-scraper, and one swing squeaks like a kookaburra! Still, the big swing and other play gear make it a solid spot for family fun. Parents can relax nearby knowing the kids have a safe space to burn off energy. Itβs a classic Aussie playground setup thatβll have the kids keen for more visits.
