Why these ages?

Description claims fully fenced but reviewer contradicts: 'not fully fenced but there's not too much traffic'. Viking ship with monkey bars/slides/climbing built into hull, plus junior multi-play with junior slide, basket + infant swing, spring toy, hammock. Bark + artificial matting. Schnell Drive is suburban, dedicated carpark. Modest fenced-perimeter status but low traffic keeps parent load manageable.

Accessibility

Partial access

+ Accessible parking bay- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)

Access notes

The Access and Inclusion section notes a dedicated car park close to the playground and on site toilets, but the play surface combines bark with artificial matting in the active zones, a barrier for wheelchair users on the bark sections.

Clean, good amount of things to do. Toilets nearby and no dogs allowed. What's not to like.

It's a small but fun playground with all the usual things; swings, slides, monkey bars etc. It's next to the big field, so lots of space to run around. It's not fully fenced, but there's not too much traffic as it's not on a main road.

Very flat and open. Perfect to play Frisbee, or teach kids to ride bikes, or fly kites. But not drones, as its within 4km of the airport.

Good football pitches, OK changing rooms & toilets & few benches for food. A plus is food land/ coffee shops adjacent for the supporter in need of caffeine !

Old, faded, ill-maintained playground. Needs an update, repaint or something. Not safe and covered in graffiti

This is a good little park for everyone to get a hit of fresh air and sunshine and they have recently updated some of the equipment!
