Best suited to

All ages0–12+

Why these ages?

Very large destination playground with junior multi-play, infant swing, you-and-me swing, accessible swing, in-ground carousel and trampolines, plus splash pad and paddling pool (purpose-built shallow water play, not a drowning hazard). Shade sails over junior area. Recently renewed. Photo signals show fencing. Broad age coverage with dedicated junior zone makes it a strong all-round toddler + older kids park.

Accessibility

Partial access

+ Supportive swing seat (high-back, basket or nest)+ Poured rubber surface (firm for wheels)

Access notes

Description states an accessible swing is provided among the swing sets, giving children with additional needs a way into the play equipment, a transfer in seat rather than one the chair rolls onto. A photo signal alone shows rubber surfacing in 31 photos, the top tag for this site, but no path, parking or toilet access is described in the text.
