Why these ages?

Compact playground with infant swing, basket swing (great toddler seat), junior multi-play with slide, climbing structure and glider. Sits on open grass with no fence — reviewers mention a stream on the wider park and off-leash dogs. Positioned behind soccer goal posts. Fine for toddlers with attentive parent but not a set-and-forget spot.

It's a great place to walk, run, and play. Just wish that people wouldn't let their dogs off lead. I don't feel safe walking my dogs here, unfortunately. Also, I wish there was a walking path all the way around and public toilets.

Probably shouldn't have put the childrens' play structures behind an open goal post!
