Best for families with a wide age range, from toddlers to older kids, who want room to roam and plenty of shade on a warm day.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
The pull here is range and room: a big playground with separated areas that suit toddlers through to older kids, backed by a flying fox and, nearby, minigolf and a weekend ride-on train. The gear shows its age in places, but that rarely registers with children; plan around the weekend for the train if that's part of the draw.

“Great park for kids of all ages. Slightly dated and worn… not that it bothers the kids! Found limited photos online (as we are from out of town) so added a few more”

“Large playground with heaps on offer for all ages incl flying fox. Lots of space between the different play areas, and ample shade from shade sails and big trees. Public toilets on site. Nearby is minigolf and a very affordable ride on train that operates on weekend afternoons.”
💬 What parents mention
Overview
The play areas sit well apart under shade sails and big trees, so there's space to spread out and shelter from the sun. A flying fox pulls in the older kids, and public toilets on site make a longer stay easy. With minigolf and a weekend ride-on train close by, it slots neatly into a bigger day at the Esplanade.
