Why these ages?

Reviewer summary is fair: 'Activities are a bit big for toddlers but there is a pair of toddler swings' - so the toddler zone exists but equipment leans older. Description confirms 'not formally fenced, but the playground sits well clear of the road, with open lawn extending the play space' so no direct road/water/skate/tall hazards, letting parents supervise from picnic seats. Flying fox and spider web climbing are the standout draws for 5-9; tweens get modest appeal from the flying fox.

Nice little playground for young kids. Activities are a bit big for toddlers but there is a pair of toddler swings, and also a pair of adult swings! Not fenced. Peaceful location.
