Percy's Park

Percy’s Adventure Park has a few activities for kids of all ages, including a fantastic flying fox, a separate area for younger kids, picnic tables and a half basketball court. There is also a small climbing frame suitable for younger children and a toddler area with a small play tower and slide, plus a see-saw and swings, and a separate, rope-based play tower that is better for slightly older children.  Percy’s Adventure Park is a great spot to take a walk with the dog or the pram, let the kids ride their bikes or scooters, and have a play. The flying fox is a big drawcard, and it’s worth a look if you are in the area.  There are also picnic tables and a BBQ.
