Why these ages?

Description explicitly warns 'site is open and unfenced, so families with young children should keep an eye on the roadside boundary'. Basic equipment: swings, tyre swing, multi-play with slide on bark. Fine for supervised toddler play but parent must stay close. Suits toddlers through primary but nothing spectacular.

Accessibility

Not accessible

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

Access notes

The playground equipment sits entirely on a bark surface per the description, which is a hard barrier for wheelchair users. Off street parking is available on site, but no firm path or accessible toilet is mentioned.
