Why these ages?

Supernova spinner, swings (with basket swing), see-saws, multi-play, balance logs and a half basketball court under 8 shade sails. But a reviewer notes ladders need a ~3/4+ reach so under-3s can't self-climb, and small wetlands to the south are unfenced (needs supervision for curious children). Better for confident primary-age.

    Has 4 slides. Is suitable for kids that can reach about a meter, the ladders to get up the platform require a longer reach for kids about 3/4+ The surrounding grounds are often marshy and wet but also provides a lot of native bird life in the small wetlands to the south. There are no toilets nearby and the water areas are not fenced off so curious children will require supervision.
