๐ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children across a wide age range โ the fort's complexity keeps older kids challenged and the walkway widths let adults accompany younger ones easily. The perimeter fence adds security, with a single ungated entrance to watch. Bring multiple adults when supervising several children across the multi-level structure.

โA playground with something for everyone! The equipment is intricate like a maze with many levels and areas to play. It has monkey bars for little/shorter kids and higher ones for older/taller kids. It is easy for adults to play with kids as the walkways are wide enough and the archways are tall enough that it is not difficult to join in. There is one entry way with a high fence around the rest plus pictures with some scavenger hunt clues as well. A delightful playground with cafe and toilets right next door.โ

โThis is a beautiful wooden playground with lots of nooks, walkthroughs and forts to explore. The playground is quite child safe as it is fenced all the way around with only one (non-gated) entrance and children remain visible by and accessible to their parent or carer in all areas. It has some wheelchair friendly spaces and a swing, it also has baby swings and a sandpit.โ

โGreat playground for kids. So much fun to explore the fort, and all its different play areas. Love that it has a fence all the way around, and this could be even better if there was a front gate to stop little escapees. Can be a bit tricky to look after multiple kids here as it is a complex structure. Overall, love it!โ
