A great oval for kicking goals and playing tennis. You could run around it if you have the time. Just don't look at your phone and run. That's dangerous and annoying. So is walking looking at your phone, it's best practice to watch where you're walking. As you were. Large villiage green featuring sports field, cricket nets, tennis courts, outdoor gym and playground. It’s also the home of Marrickville Croquet Club and there are off leash dog areas 24/7.

Not much to say, your regular suburban park and sports oval. At the time of use the grass was a bit soft and muddy, fine otherwise. Grand stand :Yes Outdoor lighting :yes Drinking fountains: yes
