Steel Park was a very beautiful place to hang out for morning tea for all people. Everyone can enjoy the walk by the river to see the awesome view of the house nearby. The kids could hang out in the playground so that they could enjoy the slides with parents' supervision. Overall, they were toilet BBQ refill bottles for the ecological environment for a sustainable future. In general, the park is an open space safe for everyone to enjoy the day that turn out to rain on that time.

A few reviews have said the water play wasn't working when they visited, however you do need to press the button for it to start on a 10 minute timer so that may be the case. It's a spacious park, not alot of playground equipment but lots of space to run around. A few tables and BBQs around along with shade. Small car park but wasn't busy when we visited. Toilets available and lots of ibis roaming around.

Nice little park at the edge of Sydney. Basketball field, AFL field and 18 hole golf course. There are toilets for people of all abilities. The golf course has a little restaurant for a drink or small snacks. The restaurant is not always open.

It is very suitable for bringing children and pets to play and walk after meals.
