Cool playground. Lots to play on, lots of different equipment for all ages. Shame the Lake and sand is disgusting but still a nice place to walk around and relax while the kids tire themselves out.
Pegasus Playground
Pegasus Main Street, Pegasus 7612
Why these ages?
Toddler swings and sandpit present, but reviews flag adjacent restaurant carpark ('kids are so so fast') and lake with algae. Not fenced. Wide equipment range from 1-12yr. Parent must hover with toddlers due to unfenced carpark proximity.
Access notes
Description states the equipment sits on a bark surface, and a review from a wheelchair using parent confirms the whole playground is bark, making it very frustrating to reach a child needing help. The same review notes wheelchair accessible toilets and a baby change table are on site.
