36th Battalion Park is off-leash in the open grassed area when there are no organised sporting activities. The park is notably shady and stays cooler than most in summer, thanks to good tree coverage. There's a basketball court, BBQ facilities, and seating. The space is big enough for a good run but small enough to keep an eye on things. Dogs must stay 10 metres from the playground.

Good mix of quiet and decent sized dog park, children's playground and basketball ball court. Pros - shady and cooler than most parks in summer Cons - old equipment and sometimes forgotten playground. One of the windiest parks as it's on a hill Otherwise adequate grasslands, mix of natives and beautiful trees, at least a few dozen. There is a bbq, some picnic tables and benches which is nice. Will be a great Park with an upgrade.

Great off lead dog park. Big enough for a good run, small enough to keep an eye on things!

Decent little well equipped park. Not massive but has a dedicated children’s play area as well as dedicated off leash dog park/area (with dog poo bags!) in quiet surrounds. Also has a barbecue (not sure if working as we haven’t tried it) and bench seating which is a nice bonus.

Love this park, what it stands for and the community use. Great place for family and fury friends to walk thru! Thank goodness we have it.
