Mobility Information:The following are excerpts from Havewheelchairwilltravel.net:
"Livvi’s Place Mollymook is a large playground with ocean views, plenty of space to explore and a range of accessible play equipment. A large wheelchair carousel is included in this playground’s design.
An inground trampoline allows wheelchair users to hop on and also makes it easier for children to use with level access.
The playground offers multiple swing options with a Jenn Swing which allows a child to be reclined for swinging and a tandem swing which makes it easy for a parent or carer to swing with a child in the seat in front. We’re big fans of the Liberty Swing as an option for children or adults who can’t get out of their wheelchair so it’s great to see this playground is large enough to accommodate one.
The elevated sand play tables mean a child or adult in a wheelchair can wheel up to the table and play side-by-side with peers, family or friends.
A wheelchair accessible boat is a great nod to the seaside location of Livvi’s Place Mollymook. The steering wheel and telescope are both mounted at a good height for toddlers and wheelchair users.
A tunnel is perfect for games of hide and seek and is wide enough for anyone using a mobility aid to be included.
The slippery dip is step-free making it easier to access.
Multiple accessible bathrooms are available including unisex stand-alone accessible bathrooms and a Changing Places bathroom which is MLAK key locked."
Vision Information:"Livvi’s Place Mollymook has many corners with interesting fixtures which allow for exploration of textures for tactile fun."
