The play area includes a sand pit with rocking boat, sand digger and surfboard, a jungle climbing frame, wickstead climbing unit, toddler swings, accessible nest swings and other play equipment.

There's plenty of grass to run around on, with picnic tables and benches. The toddler facilities are fenced so as to be dog free.

Access

Entrance to the park is from its neighbouring streets: Sommerville Road, Effingham Road and Maurice Road, St Andrews.

The play area is accessible from entrances on Sommerville Road and Maurice Road and from other areas of the park. The play area is terraced on a sloping hill with paths and steps. Although mostly accessible, parts of it may be more challenging for wheelchair users.
