Having stumbled upon this playground, while checking newly listed houses on realestate.com.au, I thought I’d venture here the morning of Mothers Day. The playground was quiet, except for one other Dad and daughter, and all the people walking their dogs along the waterways. I’m not sure how long the playground has been there, but you can see that there has been recent landscaping with the additions of new plants. I quite liked the cute little playground separated from the ‘bigger’ kids playground options. The cubby house is very colourful, and has quirky little bits for the kids to move and spin. This area also has a little slide, which made my 2 1/2 year old look like a giant! This would be a great area for the newly walking and exploring toddlers. 
The bigger kids area has a funky geometric climbing shape, with netting. There are also multiple swing types, and rotating poles. There is also a small section that contains a slightly larger slide and some climbing features. The park is complemented by beautiful views of the waterways, and has covered seating and BBQ’s.

Jack liked:

Jack ran straight for the junior area, yelling at me to hurry up – this is always a good sign. He went straight for the little slide, and slid his motorbike down first. He then ventured to the cubby, before moving onto the car rocker. Jack was less than impressed that I had a go on the starsurfer, and the spinning poles, as he demanded that I get down. We moved onto the larger play area where he easily climbed the rockwall to go down the slide. He then got extremely tired and demanded to go home, which cut short our play here – the joys of taking a toddler out!  It’s a great area for those with smaller kids, and I could easily see this being a favourite place for those looking for a birthday BBQ venue during those first few years.
