Why these ages?

Fenced junior area with infant swing gives a contained toddler space, backed up by shade sails and mature trees. Reviewer confirms 'safe playground for young toddlers and older children'. Suits toddlers through ~8. Limited challenge for tweens beyond running space. Railway Road is town-centre, not classified arterial in description, and the junior fence is the key toddler safeguard.

Stopped to eat our lunch on the concrete table and chairs. Unfortunately tagged by vandals. Public toilets on site but we didn't use them due to being dirty. A pity because it's a nice spot with the kids playground there.
