It’s BACK! Hays Paddock is now open for PLAY!

It’s a family favourite location and it has had a makeover - but they haven’t started from scratch. There are lots of beautiful features at Hays Paddock that have been cleaned up, improved and revitalised, making it feel like it has always been this way.

The wooden play area remains in the middle, but is now a labyrinth of platforms, climbing nets and slides - a great area for the big kids to play! The sand pit is a little smaller, but still has the digger (YES!) and the chain rope buckets.

The pathways surrounding the park still have the hammocks, serpent walkway, toadstool seats and the spinning wheel, with now the addition of some water-pump play areas. The old coloured gas bottle musical toys are now big giant poles!

The butterfly is still in the air - now is a pink version instead of the old yellow (we had to check the old pics for this one) and there are lots of new animal friends. We spot a frog, an eel, turtle and a bunch of welcoming reeds at the gated entrance.

Hays Paddock is still a winner - that is for sure!
