    Dunedin lacks great playgrounds. This one was the best we found with 1 picnic table in the shade within the gated area. And another picnic table is next to it, next to a BBQ. The playground is well maintained and it even entertained my 8 and 11 year old. I didn't see toilets though.

    One of the best in Dunedin, aimed at solidly younger kids with new equipment. There is also a picnic table under a shade sale which is a bonus. Nice shady trees for picnics etc

    Really cool little playground. I didn't think my kids would stay interested for that long but they played for over an hour. The big hamster wheel was a firm favourite. Right next door to a small botanical garden and supermarket on the other side which is handy for an impromptu picnic.

    Great playground for approx age 2-8 years. Equipment not high off ground but a wee range of things for both the more and less adventurous wee ones. Flat, mix of astroturf and grass, couple trees for shade and well fenced.

    Honestly an excellent toddler/young child playground, all fenced in.

    If the place was wider and bigger for children, it would be better, and more children's games would be better. Thank you

    Amazing playground and garden. Whilst I walked the garden and enjoyed the roses and other beautiful plants, my son enjoyed the playground and I was happy that he couldn't easily escape the gated playground
