The Princess Margaret Playground

Now THIS is a place brimming with charm.
My favourite part is the faded welcome sign. It feels like the secret garden, only it’s not a secret! Which might dampen the appeal, somewhat. But there’s a reason it’s called a ‘playground’ and not a ‘park’. There’s a great variety of play equipment. It’s very, very difficult to get bored with the play equipment here. And if you manage it, challenge achieved! Then you can go straight back onto being interested again.
Because of the focus on play equipment, it may seem there’s a lot less to do for parents and other attendees. Perhaps this is true. Unless you’re a badass like me, who likes to ruin the fun all the kids are having by having more fun yourself.
And the toilets are okay too, I guess.

Wow! What a wonderful place for children to play or to have birthday parties. This playground really is well equipped to handle a variety of age groups and skill levels. It’s fenced all the way around, has toilets (that get locked at night), a drink fountain, a beautifully shaded table area and a variety of play equipment… even one of the good old ’round-​a-​bouts’ is still there!
All of the play equipment has rubber ground and there’s even a lawn area for those who would like to flick out a picnic rug. Perhaps the only downfall (and not a huge one at that) is that it butts right up against the train line so every now and then you have to yell for about 15 seconds.
There’s no shade cloth over the play equipment but most of the tables are in the shade and there’s naturally a lot of trees in the area so it could just be in the middle of the day that it gets direct light.
The whole area is wheel chair accessible, even the toilets. The lawn area could be a little hard for wheels though, it tends to get a bit dippy and bumpy.
