Facilities a bit old, but kits had a lot of fun

🏆 Family Action Verdict

The elephant feature is singled out by reviewers as a winner — an original element that stands out from standard playground equipment. The combination of traditional play structures, skate park, and basketball court means children across a wide age range find something to engage with, and the open green space gives parents room to set up a picnic.

“Lots to do and plenty of space to run around for all ages at this playground. Skate park, obstacle course, basketball court and playgrounds. Very cool. Only thing I'd like to see more off is picnic tables.”

“Something for everyone here. New and old style equipment, lots of variety. Elephant is a winner for sure! Nice to have an original feature in a playground. Lots of green space to run, and toilets too. Super high slide and a zip line too for the bigger kids”

“Good playground with lots of wide open spaces for picnics. For some reason the day we were there the men toilets were locked (6th Apr 21) Flying fox isn't what it used to be sadly”
