How I review Ipswich playgrounds
I’m not a playground inspector – just a dad with a 3-year-old. We hit several new playgrounds each week. I lean positive and fair, but if a playground misses I’ll say it (where’s the shade?). Rankings favour two views: what my kid actually plays on, and what helps parents (shade, toilets, sightlines, safety). I judge the play area as built – not day-of crowds or cleanliness – snap a pic, write for 10 minutes, then update the ladder. Opinions are mine.
