Woolshed Park
Sandstone Crescent, Rolleston 7614
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.
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.
