Why these ages?

Dedicated fenced toddler zone with swings and a tube slide isolates the youngest from Marine Parade traffic and the harbour beach right next door. Lighthouse tower and open older-kid area let parents supervise multiple ages at once. Water fountain and mouse-house add variety. Older primary and early tweens get the tower and open area, plus adjacent swimming pool. Coastal exposure noted but fencing mitigates for tots.

Equipment

Bishop Park Playground in the Rona Bay part of Eastbourne is built around a custom lighthouse tower, a fitting centrepiece for this Marine Parade site beside the Muritai Yacht Club, designed to hold up to the coastal conditions. A fenced toddler zone sits alongside an open area for older children.

    Tucked beside the Murutai Yacht Clubhouse and nestling behind some trees in the crook of the Rona Bay enclave, find this Rona Bay gem, a small playground with a neat, tube slide all semi-hidden from view and within walking distance from the shops at the end of Marine Parade. Also located right beside the BPP is the Eastbourne swimming pool which must make this a go-to area for summer fun for kids in the neighbourhood.

    Small, close to Eastbourne centre. Handy for your child to run off some excess energy. Close to the beach.
