Finished in mid 2016, it is a very popular playground and is packed in summer with access to a little sandy beach and access to the water. Supervision is recommended around the road, the water and high grass near the water for little ones as there are no fences. Great for catching up with friends for a play or a picnic or popping in if you are visiting the Fleurieu Peninsula.

We love the nature feel to it, it suits the area perfectly and the kids loved it! We loved the musical instruments and musical swans around the playground. There is also a cool wooden carved crocodile, large rock to climb and wooden carved tree to climb too!
