Why these ages?

Basket swing and embankment slide give toddlers a way in on this 2023 hilltop park, but there is no fenced junior zone and the giant swing, rope course and monkey bars are all pitched at older kids. Adjustable basketball hoop, rope course and elevated views suit primary and tween ages well. Hilltop siting means no water or road-edge hazards flagged. Little shade — hot in summer.
