Its water area has hand pumps, streams, jets, water scoopers, screws and dams for moving and holding back water. Dry play includes an eight-metre slide, a 21-metre flying fox, climbing frames, long swings and a sandpit with a digger. The playground is open 24 hours and costs nothing. Toilets are about 30 metres away, and there is baby change at the Liverpool Street toilets, about 70 metres off.
