Tips about Hayman Park Playground
Suitable for toddlers and pre-schoolers with a dedicated young children’s area in the park
Suitable for primary school and intermediate aged school children.
We like that the tower has a staircase for adults and caregivers to get to the top, which is handy to join your children on the tower. Some playgrounds have climbing tunnels that can be tight for adults to get to the top to, especially when your child needs help.
Teenagers and adults will like the pump track, wave track and basketball half-courts.
