In desperate need of refurbishment. I wouldn’t let my kids on the climbing part of the playground because falling into cutty grass or flax would hurt a lot.if it was fixed up then kids would be safe & other than the overgrowth the park would be great.

A small community playground. But the facilities are very complete. The climbing frame is a surprise. There is a large slide suitable for children over 4 years old. There is also a mini slide for children under 3 years old. There is also a water play equipment, which children will love. There is also a basketball hoop on the side for half-court play.
