Why these ages?

Simple, newer little-kids setup - multi-play with slide, infant swing and spring toy on bark - explicitly pitched at toddlers through early primary. The Domain sits set back from SH73 with the cafe/Doughnut precinct between it and the highway, so a pit stop with a 2-4yo works fine. Tennis courts extend the space for slightly older kids; tweens will not stay engaged.

    Quite a nice area with lots of place to run around it so it is a nice place for a pit stop. The domain is also looks nice for picnicing if you have some. The doughnut is also here.

    Really good playground with plenty to keep the kids entertained. Quite new and safe too, and plenty of space to run and burn energy. Great view of the mountains too, snow capped on our visit today
