Why these ages?

2025-upgraded play area with clearly separated zones by age, including swings/slide for younger visitors. Not fenced but zoned. Sits inside a large sports complex with fenced basketball/netball court; no direct road or water hazards at the play area itself. Reasonable middle ground - one review calls the toddler section 'small'.

Access notes

    Whenever we go to this park we feel spirited away like if you are a fan of Studio Jhibli

    This park not only has a rugby field, it also has a tennis court, and netball hoops. It has a small playground suitable for toddlers and small children and also public toilets are not too far away...highly recommended for kids of ALL ages...

    My boy had the most amazing time there loves the open space so he can be a dog and all dog owners seem to have so much respect for each other

    Beautiful park with mutiple play grounds. There is a direct bus running from Newlynn bus station to this park. Toilet facilities available. Limited carpark and hard to find entrance are the cons.
