🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids aged 2–12 who want a full afternoon of mixed activities. The variety — water play, flying fox, climbing, ball sports, cycling paths — means different ages stay occupied simultaneously. The lay-down multi-directional swing is a favourite for toddlers.

“Spacious and extremely well crafted playground. Flying fox, slides, swings, bouncing area, water play area, classic playground equipment, basketball court and more! Lots of paths for children to skate or ride bicycles. Ample area to sit, tables, benches and picnic spots. Lots of shade from trees. Barbecue areas. Toilet facilities and wheelchair accessible. If thinking about using the park for a party I would advise to get there early to secure a particular table or the BBQ area.”

“It was a great stop to bring my grandson who had a lot of fun on the swings that were very safe for 4 years old and younger. He also enjoyed the climbing frames and slides and the huge lay down swing that went in all directions.”
