Decent older playground. Good place to take kids on a good afternoon. There are some barbeques and shade next to the playground.

Pretty decent sized playground, almost fully fenced, lots of play equipment mostly focused on climbing, however it is a bit dated. There is a bbq area and lots tables to sit on for eating or just relaxing, there is a public toilet and lots of space to run around. For some reason there were lots of mosquitoes when we went there which wasn’t so pleasing.

Cool playground but could do with some maintenance. Nice BBQ and seating under cover. Just missing a couple of swings and a slide.
