If you ignore the fact that there’s very little shade, it’s really got the lot. There’s equipment for little kids, there’s water play and there’s some really challenging equipment for older kids and teenagers. And it’s […]
Just a quick post to add to the last Huskisson playground post. There’s another little play area in a handy spot in Husky. No shade at all though so it can be a bit burny in the summer. This little play area is just to the right of the jetty at Huskisson. The jetty is […]
