rubbish bins, playground, shaded tables
Baby change facilities: Unknown, as I didn't venture into the changing rooms when I visited.
Sun shade: Shade available under the large trees on the foreshore and the sheltered picnic tables. Most of the foreshore area
is in full sun, so bring some sun protection.
Entrance fee: None
Opening times: The splash pad is open daily from 10 am from December to the Labour Day weekend.
Note that the waterslide hours of operation are shorter, and generally restricted to afternoons on weekends and school holidays. In the past
when water quality in the River Murray is poor, the operating season for the splash pad has been extended to the end of March.

phones in the change rooms. No swinging or climbing on the water features. No foreign objects (although I not sure specifically what
this one means, but I'm guessing it is in relation to the water slide). No food, drink, glass or other packaging.
