★★★★★Featured review by Mae Bangayan (Mae Sims)

The park itself is a large sports field. My eldest goes here to play touch rugby for his school. The playground is conveniently located at the back of the field near the parking area.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Reviewers appreciate the slide's dual approach paths — log scramble for adventurous kids, steps for younger ones. The on-site gymnasium keeps the park useful year-round. Families using the park for school sport appreciate the convenience of playground and fields in one location.

“Lovely wide slide with path and steps one side or a more adventurous pathway with these logs to negotiate around. Not much equipment but plenty to fill half an hour with fun.”
