    Smaller than it appears in photos. Everything is new and well made - the slides are long but not particularly fast. My kids aged 4 and 2 had a lovely time. The two houses are accessible by rope ladders and both managed to get inside, but needed assistance getting out again. Not at all busy - we were there 9:30ish on a sunny Saturday morning and had the place to ourselves. For a morning caper the park bench was nicely shaded. Very good for what it is and we would go again if passing, but probably wouldn’t make a special trip.

    Went with our 2 yr old grandson, was all he needed and very accessible. Slides great wood chip on floor is deep so no issue. Only concern steps up hard rough concrete, might be better with 'Rubberized steps'

    Nice place for kids to play. A little out of the way, which is good. The slides are cool, as is the boat and the little houses but not too much else there. Can be a touch exposed to the weather on a bad day, but if you happen to be in the long bay development with kids and some spare time, it's a good stopping point.

    One of the slides was broken, the other one was really slow,the boat turner broke. The paint was disappear from the small house. The rope climbing thing looked kinda old.

    Not a big fan of this playground. We came here as I found it on Google maps but one slide wasn’t useable/ it was broken. There’s not much to do for younger children and there are no rubbish bins or toilets nearby?! Not well thought through at all.

    Small but well made play area. Not really a destination, more like somewhere to go as part of a walk, it's a small detour off the wetland path. Two tube slides, seesaw, fort, climbing wall, rope climb and one of those vertical rotating pipe things that makes grown-ups throw up. Wood chip base. Not fenced.

    A small playground, but much fun.

    Great little playground to drain some energy out of the little ones. Just needs some council attention to refilling the stairs to the slides
