Why these ages?

Reviewer explicitly notes 'No fences but extensive equipment' and it sits directly on the edge of Lake Wakatipu with a little stream running through. Toddler equipment exists (infant swing, small area) but the open lakeside setting means constant supervision. Huge slides, rope swing, climbing nets, musical panels make it a top-tier pick for 4+ - one reviewer calls it the best NZ playground they've been to.
