🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 1.5-10 wanting a contained outdoor session with cooking facilities. The dual BBQ areas and picnic space make it well-suited for group outings and casual parties. Bin chickens are persistent — keep food covered or packed away.

“Awesome playground with good clean facilities. Gated area, with tables and 2 BBQ areas. Downside, HEAPS of rats. Saw so many during daylight, and they were everywhere once the sun set. Also a massive tree branch fell down while we were there, Scary to think we were just underneath and so could other people! Dogs allowed on leash no more than 2m.”

“Excellent playground for ages 1.5 - 10. Nice and spread out, lots of space for picnics or parties. Fully fenced and toilets just outside the fenced area. Water play available, pathways suitable for scooters, plenty of shade too. Parking is on the main road.”

“Lovely spot for little kids outdoor play. Plenty of shade and sunshine, with beautiful old trees. Lots of bin chickens - don't leave any food unattended! But the kids enjoy chasing them! 😄 Nice water features for warm weather play. Exaloo outside”
