Why these ages?

Accessibility
Not accessible- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)- Long uneven path from carpark
Access notes
Description explicitly states the play equipment sits on bark safety surfacing, a barrier for wheelchair users, and a review independently describes the wider park as having undulating ground, adding to the access difficulty.
