Why these ages?

You-and-me buddy swing and basket swing help toddlers, and description says it suits primary through younger ones. Multi-play, hamster wheel, climbing frame and half-court engage 5-9s well. But a reviewer explicitly warns 'Near a busy road and not fenced, so be wary if you have kids that run' - Victoria Ave arterial with no barrier drops the toddler let-them-loose score.

Great park perfect for family or group outing. Love the new playgrounds, there’s toilet, picnic tables, a volleyball field and basketball court. My kids love playing rugby there, kick and chase etc. our church family often go there to play volleyball and basketball. It would be nice to add bbq grill there.

Lovely park lots to do.. My daughter loves basket ball and it's lovely how older ones give way to the little ones when they come on the courts even offering to lower the hoop.. majority of time it's clean.. I've only been there once when the rubbish bins were overflowing.. and I called the council. Diverse playground My kids love the rats wheel and the monkey bars also has a cool slide and the climbing rope tower is a hit with my kids as well.. they love to race to the top :)
