On your marks ... Get set ... GO! Mamma lost count of how many times she said those words but it certainly ensured a solid nights sleep for this running superstar. A playground surrounded by a running track is pretty darn awesome if you ask us. Three lanes are perfect for that competitive family of yours and ideal for practicing laps on your bike.

In the middle there is plenty to explore too. A birds nest swing, tall climbing structure, table tennis table, four climbing trees and a good old inanimate green and orange blob that was promptly jumped all over. The playspace packed a surprising punch and we spent a good hour exploring all the features including a rest under the shade of the magnificent leafy tree.

Mamma's special mention: Need hear some refuelling coming on after all that play? Head up to Mister and Miss for a quick bite on the back deck.

the nitty gritty

limited shade - no toilets - running track - street parking - off leash (fenced) dog park on the oval next door
