Why these ages?

Dedicated smaller newer playground for younger kids plus infant + basket swings, slides, seesaw and rocker - reviewers explicitly call out the two-zone setup. Stream runs through the park but is a wade-in-summer creek, not deep, and sits away from the play equipment. Sealed loop track is buggy-friendly. Supernova spinning frame extends the primary-age draw; tweens will exhaust it.

Accessibility

Partial access

+ Step-free path to the play- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)

Access notes

The sealed path loops the park and is explicitly described as workable for pushchairs, and a review from someone recovering from a leg injury confirms the track is flat and usable. However the play equipment itself sits on bark surfacing, a real barrier for a wheelchair user trying to reach it directly.

A great park with a nice walk track around the permiter of the place, there are toilets in the middle and two playgrounds here. A big wooden one, but a smaller newer one if you want to take younger kids. Lots of people excersing dogs here , but if you don't like dogs just be aware they are allowed off leashes here so a dog may run up to you. But I enjoy that myself and have met lots of dogs and friendly owners here.

It's winter and has been raining a lot so the parking area on the grass is a quagmire! The walking track that people take their dogs on is lovely. Nice modern toilets. Excellent playing fields, and good kids playgrounds
