Along with the huge slide there is also a climbing pyramid, multiple slides, seesaw, balancing beams, carousel and some shaded tables.

If you head under the bridge you will also find some colourful wall art and more wooden climbing beams.

This new little playground is local gem!

Brand new equipment, shade sails and mostly fenced (there are a few gaps between the fencing) a shaded little picnic area and loads of open grass and nature play, make this a WINNER!

Mamma’s little ones were very impressed with the little pump track (and disappointed they forgot their scooters!).

The nature theme runs throughout the playground, with wooden climbing beams, seats and little rockets! LOADS of things to climb - rock walls, rope nets and ladders, bridges to cross, slides and swings and an inground trampoline.

There’s also a half court basketball area and lots of grassy space for ball sports.



the nitty gritty

Mainly fenced (with some gaps) basketball court, picnic area, free street parking
