"Great playground. Better suited for smaller children, but also fun for mid primary aged children. Drinking fountain. Toilets. Bike path for riding/scooting and paths around the playground too. Shade sails for some of the play equipment and mature trees. Lots of space and close to a nice cafe if you want to grab a coffee."
