Railway Place – complete with a stationary train, climbing nets, sand play tables, swings and balancing equipment.

Gollum’s Tree – see if you can spot this whimsical door that has been carved into one of the Norfolk Pine trees along the Scarborough foreshore. It would appear that Gollum (Lord of the Rings) spends part of his time living in Scarborough when not in Middle Earth!
Jumping Pillow – let the kids bounce off some energy on the large inflatable jumping pillow located near the basketball rings.
Pirate Park has all the amenities you need for an enjoyable outing with the family. Including: toilets, picnic tables, electric barbecues, water fountains, bins and parking facilities.
