I'll give it a 4 stars because there's so much wood chip my toddler found it difficult to walk. The big swing needs to be lowered 8 inches as it's too high and you have to trek across mud to get to the park. In fact everything needs to be lowered. The gate is also broken so not secure, but nice little place. Added loads of photos because it was a bit sparce.

Its a good size playpark for both the younger kids and toddlers. Having the grassy part to run around on helps too, all it needs is a local cafe
