Why these ages?

Infant swing suits toddlers but larger complex has adjacent skatepark, pool and lake — parents cannot let toddlers roam free. Ilam Road frontage is major arterial. Reviewer confirms best age 3-10 and older kids bike around lake/skate. Wide equipment mix (rocktopus, flying-fox glide, spinner, seesaw) plus skate ramps carry into tween.
