Lakes Edge Park also has a spinning bucket and disc, standard swings, and a smaller climbing structure with a little slide for toddlers. The toddler equipment sits under a shade sail, while the larger equipment is not shaded. The playground has spongy soft-fall surfacing, and the climbing net is aimed at slightly older children. Part of the play area is fenced, and the playground is suitable for family visits with young children.
