About this playground

Facilities

This playground offers a variety of equipment for children. However, it has limited facilities for caregivers, with uncovered seating that may not provide relief from the sun. There are no restrooms on site, which can be inconvenient for families.

Equipment

The playground boasts a large, multi-level play structure featuring several slides, including a notable tube slide. Additionally, there is a separate smaller climbing structure designed for younger children. Swings cater to both toddlers and bigger kids, making this playground versatile for families with children of different ages.

Safety & Cleanliness

The ground cover consists of wood chips, which some might find less safe compared to rubber flooring. General maintenance appears to be adequate, but the lack of shade and shade structures could raise safety concerns regarding sun exposure, especially during hot days.

Amenities

Visitors will find several benches around the playground for adult seating, but these are uncovered and do not provide shade. There is no visible drinking water or water play area, and no charging points for devices. Nearby amenities include a covered picnic area, but it is not located closely enough for easy supervision of children at play.

Who It's For

This playground is suitable for children up to around 10 years old, given the variety of equipment and structures designed for both toddlers and older kids. It appeals to families looking for an active play environment, although caregivers might prefer facilities that better accommodate their comfort.

What is Missing

Improvements could include adding more shaded areas for both children and adults, restrooms for convenience, and the possibility of integrating a water play area. Enhanced ground cover, such as rubber flooring, would also improve safety and comfort during play.
