Reviews
My three-year-old son loves this small playground. He calls it, 'horse park', courtesy of the four-horse, four-way see-saw. It has a wooden climbing frame with coloured metal rails, a spiral slide, a chain mesh ladder and a fireman's pole to slide down. There is one toddler swing (bucket seat with a belt) and one regular swing above new rubber turf to cushion any falls.
A short walk along the path will take you to Fritsch Holzer Park where there are toilets, BBQ'Ûªs, tables and chairs, and a large, grassy expanse, which is the province of leash-free dogs.
31-JAN-2016 - This playground has been completely revamped over the Christmas period. While the Purple, Orange and Green colour scheme is a little garish, the playground is great. It has a new round (seats up to 4 children) swing, and a big square spiders web type climbing contraption. Monkey bars, and small flying fox at a reasonable height. It still has the four way horse sea-saw. Also has a sit on spin teacup type thing, as well as the main climbing equipment and slide which is very similar to before but new. The equipment links together nicely and has some new balancing elements. This is our closest park, and the children 4&6 were overjoyed at the revamp.
