Skinners Adventure Playground has evolved as a community project over the past 20 years. Not recommended for children under five, it is very much a do-your-own-thing place. And there is heaps to do, such as climbing, bike riding and trampolining, as well as ponds and creeks to explore. The atmosphere is rather like an overgrown backyard, with new things being added all the time in consultation with the local community. There is also an indoor area with a fireplace and facilities for heating food and drink. This serves as a play area on rainy days.
