Why these ages?
Neighbourhood playground with a mini road-safety bike path (signs, speed humps, road markings) — great for 3-8 riding practice. Infant swing option and small slides suit toddlers, but a reviewer warns 'right next to the road (usually not too busy), really steep slope behind, not fully fenced — keep close eye on your little one'. Compact so easy to supervise but not set-and-forget. No shade, no toilets.
