Why these ages?

Basket swing, junior multi-play, playhouse and sand surface suit toddlers (ages 1-9 range confirmed), but description states 'sits right beside the water' — coastal waterway with no fencing means parents cannot let toddlers roam. Boat-shaped structure and climbing frame add child appeal; limited draw for tweens.

Accessibility

Partial access

Access notes

The whole site is surfaced in sand rather than bark, which is likely to be difficult for wheelchair users to cross, though off street parking and public toilets are both on site nearby.
