This playground is good fun for the smaller folk, and in summer (mid-November to the end of March) the paddling pool is a popular place to cool hot feet. The real beauty of this one is its location - bang in the middle of the magical Botanic Gardens. Next to the playground is a cafe to buy drinks and icecreams, and the gardens offer a huge array of activities - excellent climbing trees, jungle-like conservatories to explore, clever sculptures to discover, duck watching, and wide areas of the lushest grass you can imagine.
