About Valencia Park
Nature Playground at Valencia Park
The playground at Valencia Park uses nature-based design, with one zone for toddlers and another for older kids. The swing area holds toddler swings, regular swings, a spinner and a rocker. Toddlers get a small slide, rope climbing and a rock climbing wall, while older children tackle a larger ropes course with a hammock, a spider web climbing structure and balancing logs. A big slide is built into the hillside, and nature play elements made from recycled timber logs and sandstone blocks invite climbing. Established trees around the playground give it natural shade.
Picnic Grounds at Valencia Park
Valencia Park has picnic tables and seating areas scattered through the grounds, suited to packed lunches and family gatherings. A water bubbler and bins sit within the park, and a large grassy area leaves room for informal games. A walking path for leisurely strolls runs within the park's boundaries; it is relatively flat, so it suits strollers and young children on a short walk between turns at the playground.
