The baby and toddler area holds two baby swings, a basket swing, a little slide, a springer, a musical tower, a pirate boat with slide and a double dolphin bouncer. The older kids' area has two swings, a little merry-go-round, a slide, intercoms and a large climbing structure. Wheelchair users can reach the heart of the play space, and inclusive pieces such as a double bay swing and Dippy the Dolphin let children with special needs play alongside others.
