Why these ages?

Infant swing, water play, sand pit, in-ground trampoline, mini carousels, tunnels and turf surface all target toddlers well; multiple reviews explicitly cite ages 1-2 loving it. Tower slide climb-hazard flagged in one review is real but not deal-breaking with basic supervision. Reserve pond is set back on the loop walk, not adjacent to play equipment.

    Fantastic play areas; however, the BBQ area is infested with mice. We observed more than five mice while we were seated. This presents a clear health and safety concern, particularly as mice are likely accessing food areas and BBQ equipment overnight.

    Very nice playground with great things on offer for kids. Only big BIG issue is that the outside of the slide lets kids climb around it to the top. The parents should be there to supervise but I hope this is addressed or this will be an accident waiting to happen and traumatize everyone in the area. Otherwise this would be a 5 star playground

    Such an awesome playground! My kids (aged 1 to 8) all loved it. Something for everyone! We went today in just about winter but I can imagine it'd get pretty hot in summer and there was only shade sails over the sand area. Huge flying fox zip line too Water play area will be amazing in summer Overall though a wonderful, fun and exciting new playground with so much fun equipment.

    We love this park. It has everything! Playground, flying fox, water, sands, toilets, BBQ area, and even outdoor gym for adults. You can enjoy your afternoon here. I believe it will be crowded once Costco open.
