Why these ages?

Suburban reserve with soccer fields adjacent - no road/water hazards named. Suits toddlers and younger primary. Not perimeter fenced; sports field open access, so has-toddler-zone not toddler-friendly.

    Great place, watch out for the ant colonies that swarm over the park benches on the eastern side. Toilet facilities broken and could do with an upgrade

    Pitch & lights are fine but the smell when the wind is coming from the direction of the local dump is not nice to train or play with 🤦‍♂️🤯 …

    My kids live this park whether sun or out dark out. I love this park because it has nice clean toilets with automatic lights. And there's also a fountain. And the reserve is quite nice ☺️
