A gorgeous little spot to play. Kids always love it. Best time to visit is in the evening over the Christmas period because every house has awesome Christmas lights on display.

I think this park is perfect. For small to maybe around 9-10yo. I'm only giving 4 stars because it would have been 5stars if the park was gated.
