Kids can enjoy balance beams, tunnels, monkey bars, a large play tower with an inclined rope climb and tunnel slide, and a thrilling 25-meter flying fox. A dedicated nature play area adds to the adventure, featuring log steppers, balance log runners, and two log teepees. Beyond play, the park also offers a basketball half-court, connected walking paths, a shelter with barbecue and picnic facilities, and newly planted trees and landscaping, making it a fantastic space for families to relax and enjoy.
