Here are some comments from Trip Advisor reviewers:
* Swings held by an Octopus, Fred & Barney Rubble to help you slide, Old Lady's House Shoe, Humpty Dumpty, and then there's the Castle & moat with Moas! Flying fox, water, a Whale, mountains, skate park
* Always a great safe place for the kids to have a picnic and play on the many swings, slides etc. The imagination gone into the exhibits is great.
* We spent about 1 1/2hours there going from slides, swings, bears, humpty dumpty.... There was also a large play structure for big kids which included a zipline. It is right by the river, and lots of shade around. There was also a medieval castle & ship to explore.
We had a picnic lunch in the shade and then watched the kids let off their energy. There's nothing not to like here. Even the washrooms have some creative flair behind them. So much imagination!
