Why these ages?

Compact play space with a well-rounded toddler-friendly set: infant swing, basket swing, Hungry Caterpillar spring toy, bowl rocker, inclusive spinning bucket, disc carousel, multi-play with slide. Artificial rubber surface. Roy Street is a residential street with on-street parking. Small enough that supervision is easy, primary-age-and-under focus.

Accessibility
Partial access
+ Artificial turf surface (firmer than bark)
Access notes

The description states the playground sits on an artificial surface underfoot. The inclusive spinning bucket and disc carousel are not clearly a wheel-on carousel per the defined vocabulary, so no roundabout feature is claimed. No path, parking or toilet detail is given.

    New fort is great for parents as it fits an adult standing up inside.

    Small playground between the zoo and the Newton Park. Facilities seems need maintenance.

    Fantastic athletic families and great football field, if you are on newtown 1. Newtown one is a beautifully trimmed field, but newtown two is often very swampy and wet due to lack of drainage.
