An amazing playground that is big and really caters for kids of all ages and abilities. Has an awesome traffic area perfect for kids with small bikes/scooters!

It's a bit older, but full of things to do. My son lives going here for the bike training area and train engine, but also enjoys the various areas called the Jungle, Sandpit and Secret Garden. Great for all ages to climb, slide, build, swing and play tag or hide and seek. Can't get bored inan afternoon here, it's huge!

This is such a great park with so many things to do. A great playground and bike tracks and bike / road play track with operating traffic lights.

4.5 stars!Marie Wallace, also known locally as, The Train Park"

Great park, plenty of varied activities.Sandpit, scooter/bike circuit for kids, basketball hoops, bbqs, playground.They have an old model train and an associated train and ticketing booth for kids to play in as well.Large area and ample parking as well.

The positives -A great variety of equipment on the playground. Room for kids to ride their bikes and scooters.The negatives -Terrible for parking - gets super busy especially with sporting events in the park. The park is very large and area with tables for food etc is far from the playground so end up chasing the kids. Difficult with multiple kids at different ages as the park is huge and doesn't have any gates or barriers.

My wife and I are regular visitors to this lovely park. We first visit the local take away food businesses and then we go off to this park to consume it. It is always clean, neat & tidy and is very family friendly. A great place for children learning to ride their bicycles with a dedicated track for this purpose.

This playground is huge! The playground is separated into sections including a secret garden, jungle, sandpit, train, and bike track section. There is also an old steam train which is part of the train themed area. The bike track includes operating traffic lights which the kids will love. There are BBQ's, picnic tables and toilets nearby.
