★★★★★Featured review by Nick Iles

Very clean and tidy playground with lots to interest children. A couple of wooden pirate ships with planks to walk; a see-saw for up to 4 children; a wooden climbing walk with a rope to help climb; a wooden lookout platform accessed by ladder; a fast (enclosed) metal slide; a small basket swing with some seal sculptures to sit on. Also has a toilet and an undercover picnic/BBQ area, and a basketball area. Very popular with a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old girl.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged roughly two to eight who respond to imaginative themed play. The pirate ships provide open-ended play that entertains for extended periods. Toddlers can access the space with supervision on the steeper elements. The BBQ and undercover seating make it a functional party or picnic destination.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Street parking only — arrive early for events or busy days
⏰BBQ facilities are available — bring foil as the grill surface may need it
đŸŽŸī¸Water refill stations are on-site for longer visits
🚗Undercover seating is sparse — the open picnic benches are more plentiful

“A great well maintained playground right in the middle of a new residential area. Toilet facilities and bbq available. Undercover seats as well as several more scattered about. Unfenced however is very quiet street. Huge space for kids. Toddler friendly too. Huge slides and beware of the steep and fast slope. Great fun for the thrill seeking kids! 2 pirates ship with a plank to walk and "fall". Worth a trip!”

“Nice little park, may things to do, has small sized dual basketball/soccer court, toilets, BBQ/picnic area. Limited covered area. Free street parking. Mostly clean but the BBQ will need foil.”
