This playground is a labour of love for the local residents who have worked hard to raise the funds and then volunteered to build it from a bare patch of earth.
The love for this project is evident in the nice little touches and in the interesting landscaping between the main play area and the adult fitness equipment. Logs to chase each other around, cement toadstools to sit on and chat, interesting aspects, make this a magic area that is definitely not your standard cookie-cutter playground fare. Everyone is catered for with a Variety Club swing for those who use wheelchairs.
The setup is quite good with ample parking at the front and a secure child-proof fence to keep the kiddiwinks locked in and safe. There is a rotunda and BBQ facilities along with toilets.
There is a toddler playpen fenced off with a cute picket fence and paved with fake grass. It is crying out for a sail to shade it, but if baby has a hat and sunscreen and plenty of toys I am sure mum and dad will feel secure looking after the older children or cooking the BBQ while keeping a weather eye out.
This playground is still a work in progress. The landscaping is still to be completed, and the trees that are planted will provide wonderful shade for picnics once they are grown.
We used the playground recently for my godson's 5th birthday party, and a good time was had by all. read more
