This is a fantastic playground with plenty to offer for children of all ages. There is a great variety of equipment, ensuring that toddlers, younger children, and older kids can all find something fun and engaging to do. The playground is always tidy, clean, and very well maintained, which makes it a pleasant and safe place for families to visit. The only improvement I would suggest is the addition of more shaded areas, particularly around the play equipment and seating. This would make it much more comfortable during warm, sunny days. Overall, it's an excellent playground and a great asset to the local community.

Great playground! It’s close to home and very easy to get to — there’s a public transport stop nearby. You can also arrive by bike from one side, which is very convenient. There are plenty of seating areas for parents and a large sandbox for kids to enjoy. A big plus is that there are toilets available at the playground, which is really great. Highly recommended for families!

We came here on 27 April. The playground is amazing. It is clean and well maintained. Basically any child can stay here for the whole day. There is a sand pit with working pump. There is very little shaded area. There are swings, climbing frame, seesaw, slides. I would recommend a mat here on the grassy area. There are public toilets right at the entrance.

That’s fantastic playground located at the entrance to the Richmond park. I love the atmosphere, it is quiet and relaxing place overlooking Richmond hill. Different machines for kids to play with. There is also sandpit with the water so kids can built sand castles. The toilets are just next to the playground which is very convenient.

Very lovely park with great view. Didn’t take that many photos. A must to check out again. Great for kids to play and picnic on hill with a lovely walk after. Free parking on street next door.
