Vista Play park is situated along the Mandurah road in the new Vista Estate Singleton,  just 20 mins south of Rockingham and 10 mins from Mandurah. It is the perfect location for a nature play date, morning tea or an after school run around.     There is a great climbing structure with a slide, pole and a spiders web frame leading up to the main cubby area which, is covered perfect for the warm weather arriving.        The rest of the activities in the park are all made out of logs! Lots of large logs to balance across which vary in difficulty. My three year old loved the challenge and spent ages trying to get across them all!
