This is a fantastic playground! The blend of playing structures with nature is excellent with ropes, wood and rocks being a refreshing change to the usual run of the mill play equipment. The gardens, paths, bridges and rock stairs make getting from one part of the park to another all part of the adventure.

There is the usual fun like sandpits, slides and swings plus they have added things like metal sculptures to play on and the water play area which really spices up the fun factor. Lots of thought has been put into the older kids enjoyment too, with tricky climbing rope ladders and platforms for them to tackle.

The beautiful grassy hill overlooking the playground was a highlight for Mamma, the views are lovely and the grass is squishy, perfect for a picnic or for rolling down, running up and running down ... again and again! Take your time here, there is heaps to do but one things for sure everyone will sleep well after a visit here.

Mamma's lil' tips: Take a towel and change of clothes - the kids will want to get a wet and most will be in swim suits! The shade is minimal so remember a hat and plenty of suncream! We prefer to head out early before the crowds arrive. Public toilets are onsite but baby change facilities are in the nearest Royal Children's Hospital building towards the water play area - there are also a few little cafes that direction too.
