Overall assessment:
Of the new inclusive playgrounds created in 2021, this is one of my favourites. The setting is really lovely and the playground just feels nice.
There is a large variety of stuff that would appeal even to older kids such as the zipline and the large rope spinner. Younger kids will love it as it is easy to get around and it has a lot of features that are easy to access.
The musical features are excellent and there are some cute bug equipment that makes the playground feel a little bit different.
The playground is located in a great picnic park, making it a great place to spend the day with your family.
