Why these ages?

Small simple climbing frame on bark with lower equipment noted by reviewers as toddler-usable. Flat open reserve on quiet residential streets, established trees for shade. Not fenced but no adjacent water/road/skate hazards. Limited equipment variety caps school-age and tween appeal.

Great park to watch games but the toilets are well below standard. Called in the other morning and the stench was just not acceptable.

The heartbeat of the St Vincent and Vanguard Street area, Victory Square is a peaceful oasis. We enjoyed attending the Multi-Cultural Festival there last Sunday.
