๐Ÿ† Family Action Verdict

Botanical Gardens Playspace is an ideal outing for families with children of all ages, combining a well-regarded adventure playground with sprawling green lawns, a lake, and free BBQ facilities.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กBring picnic supplies to make the most of the free electric BBQs located in the centre of the park.
โฐCar parks are dotted around the perimeter - toilets are located along the side road parallel to the rail line, so note their position on arrival.
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธPaths are gravel and mostly level, making pram and wheelchair navigation manageable and worth keeping in mind for very young strollers.
๐Ÿš—Dogs are welcome on leash, so expect to share the space with other pet-owning visitors.
