“Pretty cool playground for adults and children. This one not as great for teens as the other one is across the water.”

Overview

A well-kept playground down by the Town Basin with slides, swings and climbing frames pitched at a range of ages, so the big kids and the little ones both find something to do. Shade cloth and soft-fall matting take the sting out of a hot day and a tumble, and there's a pleasant view over the waterways from the benches. Handy having a large car park, public toilets and cafes all within a short walk when someone needs a break or a snack.
