Why these ages?

2024 rebuild with a fenced/secure boundary confirmed by reviewer — big win for toddler supervision even with the clock-tower centrepiece and skate park adjacent. Multiple slides sized for different age groups, waka structure, carousel, see-saw and interactive braille/sign-language panels lift toddler engagement well above average. Wide pathways and smooth transitions suit pushchairs. Central Hokitika, toilets next door.
