Why these ages?

Description says the well-equipped play area suits toddlers through primary schoolers, and swings/see-saws/tunnels give a low-level entry. But the Rocktopus, spiderweb net and monkey bars are the standout draws, all pitched at 5-9s who love a physical challenge. Andersons Bay Inlet is right alongside on reclaimed land, so water is nearby but the playground sits within the sportsground with a set-back.
