Fay Park Playground

Under half an acre, with a playground, a basketball court, a community garden and a patch of grass for a picnic.

The switchback block with the hedges, and stairs down either side to walk it.

An indoor city pool kept noticeably warm, comfortable for kids who get cold fast in the water.

Two metal slides and a bright orange climbing web, with a swimming pool, bocce and tennis sharing the park.

The playground sits partway up a terraced park with a nature play area and big views across the water.

Wharf hotel with scooters to borrow, board games, baby gear on loan, and fridges in the rooms.
