Description:

Cahill Playground is designed to stimulate the imagination of younger children with a 'wildlife wetland' theme. The main slide and deck structure has been constructed to reflect a safari hut, with binoculars looking out over the playspace, which is dotted with life-size and over-sized wetland animals including crocodiles, frogs and a snake. Amongst the animals is a play jeep with a steering wheel, gear-stick and more binoculars to view the animals. The jeep is linked to the hut via a talk-tube, so wildlife sightings can be reported in. The playground surrounds are landscaped with thick strappy vegetation and beautiful sandstone edging and parents are afforded a comfortable vantage point from a traditional timber tree seat. This comfortable toddler facility is finished with a traditional picket fence and gate.
