Why these ages?
Nature-style destination playground set down below road level (natural barrier from Tennis Court Road) with wooden climbing tower, tube/chute slides, four-bay swing frame plus flying saucer spinner, green tunnel through a mound, climbing frame and bridge on bark. Reviewer says 'caters for ages 2-10ish'. Pump track and mini skate park sit alongside — separated by distance rather than a fence, so toddlers need supervision when moving between zones.
