Good amount of shade for the kids. Fun mountain/slide area and the sandpit was a hit with my toddler. Bring your own sandpit digging tools though because there aren't any communal ones offered.

Pretty new and big park with plenty of parking at the home shops. Lots of eateries there so it's quite convenient. The ninja course and spinning swing is cool for bigger kids.

Our search for the perfect swing continues... A beautiful park with lots of shade and grass to sit. Kids are obsessed with the 4-swing but there is often a wait because of how popular it is. A true lesson in patience for the little ones. More seating around the park for parents would be great.

The equipment at this park is impressive to say the least. There is so much climbing equipment and I was happy to see some huge shade sails protecting the vast majority of the playground. There is a dedicated, fenced, toddler area separate from the main area. Table tennis tables, a half basketball court and lots of places to sit. There is no parking at the park - you too need to park at the shipping centre and walk across. There are also no toilets which is a huge oversight. Overall a great park and one we will happily visit again.

One of the best children's parks around. Has a fenced off area for the little kiddies, plenty of seating, and unique equipment for the older kids. The park even has a basketball hoop and ping pong tables. Love it!!
