There's been a playground of sorts here for as long as I can remember. The current incarnation is reasonably compact with soft mats on the ground but it has a lot going on in a small space and kids seem to love it. There's a bench nearby for weary parents and some open green spaces shaded by mature trees with some picnic benches scattered around. Along the edge of the area are tiles in the verge painted/decorated by various individuals/businesses, presumably as part of sponsoring the park. A couple of small stone carvings also.

Small kids playground with open grass area. Heaps of shade around. Heaps of tall trees. Looks very nice. Well maintain.
