What people say
This wonderfully well hidden playground was built in 1997 with just zebra crossings and the ever annoying roundabouts. The aim was to provide a fun, yet educational experience for kids 10 and under. This little track is becoming furthermore popular and in 2011 a strong demand for additional and corresponding improvements led to the creation of what we see today, with Alamo styled shop fronts and emergency vehicles on display. Lastly, the new 'Toddler' play area that was created to accommodate kids that were not tearing up rubber on the track (which is fully fenced and gated) is full of more traditional setups like swings, slides and spring rockers all with shade to boot!!
Cute little playground with a secret creek behind the park. Good amenities. A great little bike track and small playground for kids under 6.
Small and peaceful park, not very crowded and easy to park, suitable for kids riding under 5, a good place for family relaxing during weekend
Great place for kids to have fun. Good location for picnic, family get together and even for parties. Kids play area is well maintained with swings, slider, kids cafe/petrol station etc. Paths available for riding bicycles and scooters. Restroom and Baby changing space available.
