“Such a diverse nature inspired playground for all ages. Completely fenced, soft ground cover and toilets within the playground area. Just a small hop, skip and a jump to the cafe for coffees and cookies. In full sun in the afternoon so mornings might suit little ones better. Pram friendly paths to and from the carpark.”
