Best for families with mixed-ability children or those with accessibility needs — the harness flying fox and harness swing are rare in local playgrounds and make this a standout inclusive option. BBQ facilities and shade areas support longer visits.

“Great playground for all kids but I think the swing seat and the flying fox seat designed for disabled children was fantastic. My daughter was very happy to be able to strap her able bodies 2 year old into the flying fox and give her a go. This miss wants to do everything her older brothers do but has had to watch them on the flying fox up until now. We'll be going back here again for sure”

“Loved the park and the signage. The ant and butterfly models really helped create an ambience. The inclusion of a few bursaria bushes was commendable too.”

“Pretty neat enclosed playground. Plenty of variety in activities. I didn’t see any Copper Butterflies. But I wasn’t looking that hard.”
