Awesome new playground for the area, a heck load of children there today probably from in and around flat bush. Just a note: the water feature is it a waste of fresh water to just have no limit coming out of the tap and then water going straight back down the storm water drain?? Council should have maybe built a public pool facility next to park. Cheers

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Reviewers describe the new playground as a major upgrade, with new structures drawing large numbers of local families. The combination of the water play area, shade sails, and cycling trails is noted as giving the park genuine all-day appeal.
