Want a perfect playground for the little ones? This is it. It has lots of small, accessible equipment perfect for the 2-6 year old range. It’s fun for big kids too, don’t get Mamma wrong - but it’s really well suited to the little ones.

There is a wooden playground area with cubby house, obstacle course equipment and some wooden animals like tiger snakes, dragonflies and a frog. Then there’s the main playground with swings and slides and climbing structures. A 360 nest swing sits further afield by some adult exercise equipment and a basketball half-court is on the other side.

All of this is rested within a big grassy area, smooth scooter track and some bush area for wild exploration. There is also an undercover area with BBQ and picnic tables - but no toilets.

Mamma's special mention: Head down to nearby Sunshine Social for a feed, or bring some takeaway lunch to the playground!
