The playground has two areas. The fully enclosed area with safety gate has a pyramid rope climbing frame and low structure with curved slide, wave slide, tunnel, walkway, tic-tac-toe, monkey bars, stepping disks and balance beams. Also a train springer and swings under a shade sail.
Outside this area is a big Loch Ness Monster writhing in and out of the ground, outdoor gym, Lakeside Little Library, toilets, two shelters with tables, BBQs and unshaded seats next to a large lake with some grassy play areas.
Along the lake a little way is another playground area which is unfenced. It has a tower with a big twisting spiral tunnel slide, wave slide, climbing walls, various rope climbing nets, monkey rungs and hanging disk traverse. Also a birds nest swings and basketball court. There is a water tap near the lake.
Next to the lake is a "Test Your Bird Spotting Skills" board. Can you become a Master Bird Spotter.
There are also some information boards about preserving the health of the local ducks.
How Bread Chucks Hurt our DUCKS! - Bread is like 'fast food' to wild ducks, it provides no nutritional value, but is high in fats, sugars and preservatives. Ducklings, taught by parent ducks to eat bread, often display drastic deformation and underdevelopment. Feeding of bread, especially if it has developed mould, causes fatal diseases such as; Avian Botulism, and the lung infection, 'Aspegillosis' Please don't contribute to the death of our ducks!
