Why these ages?

No open water; mall car park is beyond fence. Description confirms 'fenced junior section for younger children'.
Accessibility
Partial accessAccess notes
Description states the play area sits on an artificial surface rather than bark, a mild positive for wheelchair users, but there is no mention of accessible parking, a formed path, or an accessible toilet anywhere in the text beyond generic off street parking.
