The main component in the Playground is a plastic modular 'Tower' with metal posts. There is a fairly vertical metal step ladder to gain access to the elevated platform. There are two other ways down, with one a 'Fireman's Pole', and the other a dipping plastic Slippery Dip. On the platform are a pair of 'Binoculars', so the children can 'keep an eye on' their parents/carers.

Beneath the platform is a plastic tubular Tunnel, which gives access to a "Shop" Counter, with 'built-in' calculator. 'You' have to be quite short to use this area.

There are a couple of toddler-sized Spring Bouncers, one as a Kangaroo, and the other as an Echidna.

The double swing set have flexible rubber strap seats, with one have more of an open bucket style, and chain to go across the front to 'strap' a toddler in. There is foam matting beneath, with soft-fall chips surrounding it.

Down the hill towards the lake shore is a water bubbler. There are a couple of benches to rest on. [No toilets that I remember]
