This is a fantastic play space - a wonderful blend of playground and nature - with ropes, wood, terrain, plants and rocks being a refreshing change to the usual run of the mill play equipment. And it has just got better with age. The gardens, paths, bridges and rock stairs make getting from one part of the playground to another all part of the adventure.

Even the ordinary playground essentials like sandpits, slides and swings here seem extraordinary. Nestled amongst the greenery there are metal sculptures to play on, giant boulders and logs, and a water play area really spices up the fun factor. All split over different levels, there is plenty to explore.

Lots of thought has been put into the older kids enjoyment too with tricky climbing rope ladders and platforms for them to tackle.

The beautiful grassy hill overlooking the playground is always a highlight for Mamma, the views are lovely and the grass is squishy, perfect for a picnic or for rolling down, running up and running down ... again and again!

Take your time here, there is heaps to do but one things for sure everyone will sleep well after a visit here.

Mamma's lil' tips - Take a towel and change of clothes in case the kids get a little wet. There is no free parking that we could find but the ticket machine takes cards. Toilets and baby change facilities are at the entrance, and there are also a few little cafes the direction of the Royal Children’s Hospital. There are plenty of grassy spots for a picnic, as well as picnic tables.
