🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families who want a full outing combining active playground time with a nature walk. The flying fox and multi-level structure hold the attention of school-aged kids; the sandpit and toddler swing suit the youngest visitors. Families regularly spend several hours here across the playground and wetlands loop.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring birdwatching gear — the wetlands have active duck and waterbird populations
⏰Check for a food truck in the car park before packing a full picnic
🎟️Upper BBQ area with wetlands views requires stair access — use lower facilities for wheelchair access
🚗Sandpit has digging equipment so pack a change of clothes for younger kids

“A large wooden style adventure playground that has tunnel slide and big slide, sand pit with a digger and little funnels to pour sand into. Four person seasaw, two normal swings and one toddler swing. A tractor, noughts and crosses, find the treasure, count the fish. Rope net you lie in, shop front with a bell. Rocking climbing wall, flying fox. Farmyard wordsrarch, farm find, slide puzzle and 3 funny mirrors. Lots of tables under shelters with bench seats and other seats around. Barbecue, drinking tap and tolites. Lots of grass area to have picnic on and for the kids to play on. Also a lake where you can look at the ducks.”

“Very cute and accessible location! Lovely playground, awesome little lake to walk around, food truck parked in car park, accessible toilets! BBQ’s and lunch area up the top with stunning views - which did not seem to be wheelchair accessible? We had to use stairs to gain access and there was not a path or track that was safe for a wheelchair user. However, overall a cute playground / park that I would 100% return to! Also very clean, with minimal rubbish!!”

“My kids (and I!) adore this place. Not only does the playground have different levels and all kinds of different equipment and elements including sandpits, swings, slides and monkey bars but it is next to wetlands with plenty of bird life to watch and a beautiful walk through and around it. We can easily spend a few hours here every time!”
