Why these ages?

Infant swing and multi-play slide suitable for young children with assistance give toddlers a modest option. But reviews confirm the reserve directly faces busy Carmen Road (a bus route arterial) with trucks and buses driving by — the reserve is explicitly not gated or fenced, so a toddler could reach traffic. Modest primary appeal; little for tweens.

Accessibility

Not accessible

- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)

Access notes

The description explicitly states the play equipment sits on a bark surface, repeated across both the summary and equipment sections, a clear barrier for wheelchair users trying to reach it. Only on street parking is described and no accessible toilet or step free path is mentioned anywhere.

And 2 slides to pick from, the playpark quite stable, shame about idiots who seem to find graffiti on it is designable its NOT welcomed, however grass is well groomed thankyou CCC, you do a great job to keep it tidy in our local area?
