Why these ages?

The Shaw Ave play area is a straightforward 500 sqm bark playground with two multi-play towers with tubular slides, see-saws and an infant swing - a junior-scaled structure gives 2-4yos something and the infant swing helps, but no fencing on the playground itself means parents need to keep eyes on 2yos. Primary kids will enjoy both towers. Tweens will find it thin unless they head to the Marine Parade skate area within the wider domain. No immediate water, road or tall equipment hazards.

Accessibility

Not accessible

- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)

Access notes

Description states this Shaw Avenue play area covers close to 500 square metres of bark surfacing, with off street parking but no accessible path or toilet described. A review describes a wheelchair roundabout at a separate butterfly park elsewhere in the wider domain, not this site.

Surprisingly lame considering the hype this place has. The newer gear is getting damaged. Flying fox is good though
