Marie Wallace Playground has reopened for play. There are new nature play zones, shade over the sandpit, swings have moved, new stuff near the train and the main structures have been tidied up, new soft fall and rubber matting.

This great community space is huge and it has been a family favourite since FOREVER! Heaps of different sections for a range of age groups and abilities. The 'Train Park' would not be true a true train park without a retired engine. Taking centre stage this red beauty has its own stairwell leading up for you to explore. The giant has its own platform, ticket booth and tracks.

The main playground is a giant sweeping wooden castle type structure with slow inclines.. Crawling toddlers are quick up the ramps and off discovering the castle. On the warmer days you will spend most of the time underneath where it is well sheltered and plus there are lots of corners to explore with imaginative play. The sheltered part is also tall enough for Mamma to walk under too - added bonus. Heaps of other highlights including an elephant slide, massive sandpit, swimming hippos and lounging lizards.

There are lots of open spaces for bike riding, skateboarding and scooting plus a climbing wall, monkey bars and netball rings at various heights! The fresh paint on the walls are looking stunning and the rubber underfoot give the smallest explorers some time out of the pram without the tan bark in their gob!

Mamma’s special mentions: Pack the scooters - the Bike Training Area is BRILLIANT. This circular traffic park even has its own traffic light system!
