Why these ages?

Fenced junior section explicitly keeps toddlers separate from bigger kids on the multi-play climb. Fort, climbing frame and flying fox extend appeal to 5-10s. Woodchip surface, on quiet suburban streets, no water. Facilities on site with BBQ and picnic. Excellent free-roam toddler pick with the physical junior fence doing the supervision heavy lifting.

Accessibility

Great park if you're in the area. Bathrooms are available. There is outdoor fitness equipment for anyone looking for the extra strength training in their daily routine. Stop by the water stand pipe for free water.

Great place for anything, kick around, bit of cricket, walking, running, excersing. Popular place for Thursday night touch rugby, and saturday cricket, and training during the week. Great cricket, rugby and tennis clubs located within the park. They take good care of the cricket pitches and the rugby fields and the tennis courts. Which are open to the public. The cricket nets are awesome and well taken care of.
