What people say
Great equipment for younger kids (1-3yo): Parent/child swing, wobbling train, mini trampoline pad, standing see saw etc. Located next to the dog park but dogs aren't allowed inside the playground.
Nice playground. Slides, swings, trampoline, a train 👌🏼 no toilets nearby, parking on the side streets, no coffee shop around.
It seems a little strange to have a childrens play ground surrounded by head stones of dead people
A great fun park to take the kids. Fun items for them to slide down, jump on, spin around, climb etc. The parent / child swing is a great way to sit on a swing with your child and heaps of fun.
Great new playground with so much to play on. Two swing sets, a train and carriage, large playground structure with two slides, accessible trampoline and carousel. Lovely setting.
