Why these ages?

Compact community square with infant swing, small carousel, junior multi-play with interactive panels, balance logs on bark. Suits toddlers through primary. But on-street angle parking runs directly alongside the park with no fence between the play area and vehicles. Mature oaks provide shade. Fine for a quick local stop, needs parent close for wandering toddlers due to road proximity.

Accessibility

Partial access

+ Accessible parking bay- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)

Access notes

On street angle parking with mobility spaces sits directly alongside the park, a clearly stated accessible feature. The play equipment itself is set on a bark surface though, a barrier for wheels, and there are no public toilets on site.

Nice little square with a small children's play area in one corner. Plenty of trees and some seats and bbq tables to enjoy a family lunch. No toilet facilities at this location. A beautiful little square block untouched by houses.

A nice quite basic little park to sit and eat the fish and chips in the shade. A square grassed park with mature oaks around the perimeter. A couple of swings and a slide and three or four exercise machines for the kids.
