playground St ThomasSet in the beautiful and historic St. Thomas' Rest Park, this unique and accessible fully fenced playground has been created as a series of play 'rooms' connected by rubber pathways within lush native gardens. Activities have a whimsical theme with a groovy climbing 'critter', spring-mounted rockets, an old style 'steam engine', an unusual roundabout and two sets of double swings including an arm-power swing. A larger central structure incorporates an unusual sitting 'capsule' as well as tunnels, slides and climbing activities. Picnic tables are centrally located, making this a popular playground for longer visits.
