Nice and quiet neighbourhood park, has different and clean play equipment and a bubbler, its big enough and small enough at the same time. No toilets but no worries.

Nice local park. Equipment is good for toddlers and preschoolers. There's a small bike or scooter track and a water tap. But no shade, no toilet no bbq area.

"Boat park" is the perfect park for little kids. The play equipment has difficult as well as easy ways up, so that even small kids can climb up and slide down by themselves. Lots of lawn and a little bike track too, and plenty of natural shade, especially in the afternoon. Extra bonus: not as packed as Willow Park. And everyone loves the boat! Only thing missing is a toilet.

Local playground with some equipment like a slide and swings, some grass and a kiddies bike loop. The rubber surface was recently updated by the council. Yet this playground lacks good shading, also it is right next to the busy Sherbrook road - so there is poor air quality especially on weekdays.

Nice little one. The big problem is this place doesn't have a cover on top of the play instructure. The slides could be extremely hot in summer. Very dangerous for the little one. Parents need to be cautious.
