For health & safety and insurance reasons, only those named on the booking will be admitted. If you need to make changes to your booking call 021 428 9267.

We would appreciate 24 hours’ notice where possible, however, we understand that cannot always be the case. There will be a cancellation link on your confirmation email that you can use or if it is last minute, please call 021 428 9267.

We encourage visitors to be mindful of other users’ privacy. We ask that people only take photographs of their own family/group.
Children will not be able to visit the playground without being accompanied by an adult who is responsible for them. Crann team members are trained in how to use the equipment and will be on hand to guide you and answer any questions.
There is a water play area on-site so shoes, socks and clothes might get wet. We advise visitors to bring spare clothes if you or your child would like to engage in water play.
Please report any inappropriate behaviour such as bullying or rough play to Crann team members on-site. We reserve the right to ask people to leave the playground area if we feel they are not abiding by the rules and guidelines.
If you have any concerns about equipment, please bring this to the attention of the Crann team members. Crann team members are onsite to oversee activities and advise you.
Please do give us feedback about your visit. This is an exciting new project for us and we appreciate all feedback. We hope that you enjoy your visit and come back again soon.
There are details below on the playground equipment and how it should be used safely. The Crann team members are happy to advise at any time during your visit.
Guidelines are listed on the fence. This is locked when not in use and can only be opened by a Crann volunteer when a wheelchair user is on site. Only one responsible parent/guardian and one wheelchair user are allowed in the area when in use. Crann staff will assist and give a demonstration.
This is suitable for 1 wheelchair user only at a time. It can be either manual or power-chair user. A parent/guardian mounts opposite side to create the up/down movement. Tie down straps are installed so the wheelchair can be tied down when in use. Can be used by ambulant children also.
uitable for wheelchair users, as well as ambulant users, under parental supervision. Users can mount the ramp at either side and enjoy the movement of the ramp as they walk/drive along the ramp. Please be mindful of possible collisions on entrance and exit.
Suitable for a manual wheelchair user if accompanied by a responsible parent/guardian. Parent/Guardian would guide the wheelchair user onto this piece of equipment and remain on it to create the bouncing movement. When finished, the wheelchair user will have to be assisted off the trampoline by parent/guardian. It can also be used by ambulant individuals.
This is suitable for wheelchair users and ambulant children. The maximum number of users is 14 – age range 3 – 12 years. The maximum number of wheelchair chair users is 2 with additional seats for people to sit on. Doors need to be opened/closed by parents/guardians to allow wheelchair users to enter/exit. These are pulled up to open. The red levers are brakes, which can slow down/stop motion. Wheelchair users can only get on/off when the round-a-bout is not moving.
See manufacturers instructions on the equipment for use or ask a member of staff/volunteer for assistance.
If a wheelchair user wishes to use the slide, a parent/guardian must assist them to transfer out of their wheelchair at the top of the slide where there is a ledge at the top of the slide which can be used to assist with transfer.
Parents/guardians know their child’s capabilities best, so please only use the slide if you feel it is suitable for your child to use safely and comfortably under your supervision.
