Halliday Park is now a truly impressive playspace. Its recent make-over has included some very attractive but functional landscape design that creates a seamless blend between play equipment and plantings.

Some funky new Proludic equipment means that the park can cater for a huge range of ages, adults included. The Aeroskate looks like a huge amount of fun (7-14 yo, but adults will love it). There’s also a double flying fox (pommel and harness seat), a Speed Gyro, huge rope polygon, mini trampoline and bird’s nest circular swing.

For the younger kids, there’s a traditional multi-use structure with a tunnel, little slide and activity boards along the way. We love the water play area with a pump and little gates to lift and lower to create your own dam.

Acoustic bells to stomp on are always a winner as is the hammock.

It’s the beautiful landscape design which really sets off this playspace. The huge logs to sit and hop over are very attractive and we love the way they invite you to hop through the middle of the garden beds, rather than ramble through the plants.

A gorgeous mosaic sculpture with plantings sprouting out its top is a lovely colourful addition.

The playground is well landscaped with natural features and caters for All Abilities with paths to all play equipment. There are plenty of shaded and unshaded seats scattered about the playground area, lots of shaded and unshaded tables and BBQs, water tap, toilets, huge shelter with seats and big grassy areas.
