Why these ages?

Big all-ages destination on Adelaide Road (busy Wellington arterial) with a community-built skatepark alongside. Clear toddler zone - basket swing, infant swing, gravel digger, embankment slide, inground carousel - but skate ramp and traffic mean parents can't zone out. Older kids and teens genuinely served by the mini ramp. Photo signals show partial fencing.

Accessibility

Partial access

- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)

Access notes

Description states surfaces are a mix of artificial and bark, so the bark sections remain a barrier for wheelchair users, and only on street parking is available nearby.
