Why these ages?

Multiple reviewers stress it is `fully fenced with gates` and one grandparent explicitly parks a 2.5yo there happily. Woolshed tower with slide/fireman's pole and basket swing plays well for 3-6yo. Shallow duck pond and creek sit outside the fence line so the mitigation is real. Balance beam and climbing frame extend the range slightly for primary age, but tweens will find it thin.

Accessibility

Not accessible

- Bark or wood-chip surface (wheels sink)

Access notes

The description explicitly states the playground is bark surfaced with bark fall zone surfacing throughout, and only on street parking is available, with no accessible toilet, swing, or step free path noted anywhere.

Woodshed park is a really nice park for children. It is set up to look a bit like a sheep farm with a woolshed, silo, sheep pens and stile. Behind the woolshed and silo is a slide. The park is not big and is probably better suited to children over three years old but it is really well thought out.

I went there when I was little and there was a way to sneak under the slide area. One day in went to go under and got stuck half way trying to crawl in and tried to scream for help. The only help that I got was from a older guy who was near by to hear my screams and the only thing that I got from him was a laugh and he walked away leaving lil me to fend for myslef. Other that that the place is pretty cool. SHout out to my homie who laughed at me.

A great little children's play area. Safely fenced with a variety of play equipment, including a fantastic curving slide - I know cos grandad had to have a good too. Our 2½ year old granddaughter loves going there but older children would enjoy it too.

My son loved the slide and I love how its fenced. There were no other kids there too, but I'm sure your kid would love it. There was also a friendly ginger cat, im not sure if its always at the park but was approachable and playful.

Not really much to this. Just open grass with plants still at their early stages of growth. Playground across the road is good (small) but good for a reserve
