What people say
Honestly a bit of a boring park for my 1.5yr old. The slides were too hot to go down and bumpy lips the whole way down?...they should put the shade cloth over them. No swing set, just a netted circular swing and a bouncy apparatus. The other installed items were uninteresting. The flying fox is out of action. Shame, its a great location with lots of potential but the designer has done an extremely poor job. There is so much cool fun playground equipment out there but you won't find any at this park.
Very pretty clean & new park. It's in the new part of housing estate buildings. Down government rd turn right at roundabout 2nd one b4 raymond terrace rd past socer fields on left.
Great park with all the basic needs. Zip line, basketball court, and exercise equipment are a bonus. Also the slide want to scary for my kids .
Awesome little park with a bit of aviation history, bring the kids up and have a great time. Some fantastic undercover picnic tables and plenty for the kids and adults to do
