Playground Attractions
These are all the different playground attractions in the Kershaw Gardens Playground. Our personal favourite was the hamster wheel, as they are usually very hard to come by in playgrounds.
Hamster Wheel
There are two hamster wheels of different sizes, one suitable for smaller kids, and one that fits bigger kids and adults.
Zipline
There are two ziplines in the Kershaw Gardens playground, which run parallel to one another. The ziplines are roughly 15-metres long making for a wonderful activity in the playground
Super Sphere
The Super Sphere, or the main attraction, is a 9-metre tall structure features 5 colourful levels, 4 slides, and a variety of obstacles inside.
Swings
The swings, or swing circle is a circle of swings that all face into each other. Kids can swing together into the centre.
Cart Track
The cart track runs around the playground, where kids can sit on the carts and pedal to move them. There are a variety of carts in all different colours.
Toddler Area
The toddler area of the park is home to a little swing set and mini play area. The entire floor is a sandpit too.
