While I wouldn’t personally describe this area as “magical”, but I do believe it’s a great area for picnics, bbqs and social gatherings

This is such a great park. Lots of equipment suitable for toddlers and young children including 2 slides, bridges, climbing wall, and carousel swing with older and younger child seats. Also two normal swings for older children. There's little paths with bridges to walk over, rubber crocodiles and snakes to climb on. Black and white high contrast spinning equipment. Metal drums and xylophone musical instruments. There's a flying fox style swing and a wheelchair swing. Lots of seating for adults or others with poor mobility. Paths are all accessible and the park has a child fence around the perimeter. Fantastic park!
