Why these ages?

A slide suited to younger children and a bowl rocker give toddlers a modest way in, but no infant swing is listed and the cantilever swing, climbing net and balance logs are pitched at older kids. Sits on a Northcote residential street with no water, road-edge or skate hazards flagged. Half basketball court, BBQ and picnic tables extend appeal well into pre-teen and family-meal territory.

Accessibility

Not accessible

- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)

Access notes

Bark chip covers the play surface, a barrier for wheelchair users, and a reviewer confirms there are no public toilets, with only on street parking serving the site.
