Sheltered picnic tables sit within and around the playground, giving carers a covered place to sit beside the equipment. The playground is the park's primary feature, and its compact layout suits supervised play sessions and casual family visits.

Families can cook on site and eat at the sheltered tables, so the park suits casual picnics and small celebrations.
