Small, well-arranged neighbourhood playground in Henderson, positioned beside Sunnyvale Kindergarten. North-facing aspect catches afternoon sun. Free entry with pram access.

β€œAlthough a small park but it has what kids would appreciate, a playground. It is stratrgically situated beside Sunnyvale Kindergarten. Very limited picnic table and i suppose no barbecue grill when planning for onsite cooking during picnics.”

β€œNice place, facing north and gets lovely late even sun. Good play ground. Could do with bigger and more swings. Not sure if it had bbq's, a couple off bbq's there would top it off.”
