Why these ages?

Recently renewed (2023-24) with multi-level tower, junior slide with shade sail, sand play and half court. Adjacent Waimeha Lagoon and wetland boardwalk plus beach access close by = water risk, playground not fenced. Junior sand/slide zone caters to toddlers but no perimeter fence, so has-toddler-zone rather than toddler-friendly. Wide age appeal but tower and half court favour primary age.

Accessibility

Not accessible

- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)

Access notes

Description states the refreshed climbing structures sit on a bark surface, a barrier for wheelchair users, and a reviewer explicitly calls the reserve not very wheelchair friendly, noting only half of the adjacent boardwalk bush walk is accessible.

Not very wheelchair friendly. Especially around the Bush walk. Only half of the walk is accessible and it's the bit right in the middle!?? Why not make both ends accessible too??
