Love the park and recently refreshed. A shame they didn't fix up the toilets which are non-functioning

Well shaded park with unfenced kids playground near the Warratah Mills light rail stop. Playground good for kids aged 0-7. Picnic tables, no toilets.

Nice little quiet park. Well maintained and clean. I like to come here to unwind after a long day at work.

This park in its original state was easily the best in the local area in terms of equipment for kids of all ages. My daughter always had something to do. Very surprised that this is the park they decide to upgrade. Really hope the new upgrades maintain similar style of equipment for kids of all ages.
