There are two playgrounds in Oaklands Park, the playgrounds are close but do not overlook each other.
In the larger playground there are climbing frames, a slide, tyre swings and a nest swing. There is also a large fallen tree trunk which is great for climbing. The playground is spacious and it is enclosed.
