Why these ages?

Modest junior multi-play with slide, wooden balance/confidence course and swings including an infant seat suit toddlers through early primary - reviewer says 'my toddlers absolutely loved it'. Set in quiet heritage garden with no adjacent road, water or skate. Miniature train only runs 2 Sundays a month. Too small for tweens.

Partial access

Access notes

Off street parking includes dedicated mobility spaces near the Puflett Road entrance, a direct accessibility signal. The play surface itself is a mix of grass and artificial material, and no path, toilet or transfer detail is given, so this reads as partial access rather than confirmed full accessibility.

    A wonderful place to take a little adventure. Great for little ones. Nice easy walk around Kerunga. Different paths to take throughout. Kids playground is great at the top. Catch the right day and go for a train ride. Amazing colours at this time of year

    Great place, lots of things to do. Nature walk, playground, park, and small trains running every first and third Sunday of the month. The train tracks run through tunnels and over bridges making them exciting.

    Had a pleasant afternoon with family & friends at the miniature Railway in Keirunga Gardens. Long weekend so food & drinks were available to buy. To ride the trains is $2 or can buy 12 ride ticket for $15. Nice picnic area.

    Went on what seemed to be a very very busy day but the queues moved quickly. My toddlers absolutely loved it and so did Mum and Dad. Fun for all ages.

    A quiet walk through the gardens is a delight... the historic cottages are used for community Art groups and visitors are always welcome. There's also a studio called the Sewing Room offering professional clothing alterations and sewing workshops. A bonus is the miniature ride on railway for all ages, operating twice a month.

    Disappointed. Undervalued space. I walked around and passed only one dog walker, not even a jogger.It was a sunny warm afternoon. The train was not running.
