★★★★★Featured review by Steve Arthur

In Good Weather this is an Excellent playground for Younger children, something you can promises them if they are good at the shops then they get 15 minutes play time or this is a great place to drop the kids off (if they are older enough age 13 or older) and go shopping for a few minutes. As the shops are only 20 mtr or so across the car-park. If this comment was helpful please give it a like.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Reviewers single out the thoughtful equipment mix — from the interactive sandpit contraptions and wind-up piano to the rock climbing cave and spinning toys — as a step above standard playground fare.

“What a fabulous park. So much for the toddlers to explore safely. From sandpit, a rock climbing cave, a walkable seasaw to the usual swings slides and roundabouts. There has been alot of thought gone into accomodating for the toddlers. Awesome. Although there was parking for the mall there were no 'mum & pram' parking allocations near the park.”
