Why these ages?

Fully fenced junior corner keeps toddlers separated from the adjacent large skatepark and the Maitai River is set back beyond the reserve. Older children get extensive climbing structures, and the skatepark with two bowls and rails is an excellent tween/teen draw. The fence is the key trust-signal for parents letting 2-4yo roam a corner of the reserve.
