Petersham Park

We went to a birthday party at Petersham Park and had a lovely time! There’s a large open grassy area and a well-sized playground — perfect for kids to run around. The park also has benches, BBQ facilities, a nearby café and toilets, which was super convenient. Parking wasn’t too difficult, and there’s also a water station available. Great spot for gatherings with kids!

Great park for kids, has an area suitable for toddlers & young children & a decent climbing frame for older kids. Loads of space to run around & open enough that you can see the children without having to follow them around. Also located next to the swimming pool & newly opened Splash cafe, so great for coffee & treats!

Beautiful park for a walk. Upon entering the gate on Brighton St I was greeted in a friendly manner by an older gentleman walking his adorable dog. Heaps of people with their pets can be found here. The plaque on the entrance tells me it opened in 1887, so I felt the historic vibe. Tall well manicured trees greeted me with their shade in a uniform row along both sides of the footpath. Another plaque informs you this is where THE Donald Bradman scored his first century in cricket across the way in the well maintained sports oval. There’s also the aquatic centre where people were coming for early morning laps in the pool. It’s named after Fanny Durack, Sydney’s first Olympic Gold Medalist in swimming. Across from that is a playground for the kids. All along the perimeter of the park are gorgeous old trees with opulent trunks - very picturesque. A lovely inner city park for walking and recreation!

Great little neighbourhood pool with gas barbecues and a cafe

Very beautiful park, there’s old large trees, a playground, places to sit and an aquatic centre to top it off
