Great little playground. Has plenty of grass, shade and sun. Some big beautiful gum trees. Table with chairs. Plus a few seated areas. 2 entrances to the playground. Slides and swings

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for parents of children aged 0–4 wanting a safe, shaded, and fenced local spot for a casual outing. The equipment height and complexity is scaled exactly for toddlers — one-year-olds can climb without constant assistance. Families with children over 5 will likely find the equipment too easy.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Plan a toilet stop before arriving — no facilities on-site
Use the picnic tables rather than the grassed area to avoid off-lead dogs
🎟️Two entrances make pram access straightforward from either side
🚗Shade cloth over the equipment keeps it cooler on warm days

Really nice playground. Toddler friendly. Big shade cloth over the equipment. Fenced in and a large grassed area too.

Has great play equipment for toddlers, our 2.5 year old could manage well without assistance. We brought a picnic and our dog on lead but so many people have their dogs here off lead that it became quite annoying (we were sitting with our food on the grass but there are 2 picnic tables which we will use next time). No toilet facilities

A cosy local spot, perfect for the younger kids. I wish the wheels turned and that there were toilets but my 1 year old definitely approved. He was able to climb around without much assistance. Highly recommend for 0-4 (toddlers and young kids). Well shaded too. (I don’t see any mold).

Overview

The playground sits under a large shade cloth with secure fencing, spacious grassed areas, and a canopy of mature gum trees adding natural cover. Equipment includes slides, swings, and low climbing structures scaled for toddlers and young children. Two entrance points allow easy pram access. Picnic tables are on-site. No toilet facilities are available — the nearest are a short walk away. Off-lead dogs from neighbouring users have been noted as an occasional nuisance.
