Why these ages?

Reviews describe as 'small playground ideal for toddlers' and 'away from roads'. Cushioned matting surface, shade sails, flat pram-friendly paths, swings for young ones. Flying fox and rope pyramid for bigger kids. Harbour is downslope, not immediately adjacent. Quiet weekdays. Very low parent cognitive load.

Accessibility

Wheelchair accessible

+ Step-free path to the play+ Accessible toilet on site+ Poured rubber surface (firm for wheels)

Access notes

Description states flat, sealed paths and boardwalks connect the entrances with the playground and accessible toilets, making the site pram and wheelchair friendly, with cushioned safety matting rather than bark underfoot, and a review independently describes pram friendly walk tracks.
