Access notes

The description names a large accessible swing among the equipment, but gives no detail on the play surface or path, and a review notes there are no toilets on site, so this is one confirmed feature without a wider accessible setup.

Awesome little park with a big grass area! My 3yr old niece loves it, equipment looks rather clean and maintained well. 1 table and 1 bench, no toilets though!

Cool small neighborhood park. I take my young mokopuna to play and enjoy the giant swing, the inground trampoline,, climbing frame, slide, walking blocks etc. There is a ball hoop and great concreted area ti use scooters too. There are picnic tables and a water fountain. A large tree provided shade
