Great park, plenty of room, playground facilities, skate park, oval and toilets. Great place for family fun or a birthday party. Also great spot to fly a kite or kick a ball.

The playground was fairly new and great for kids, ramos for bikes, scooters and skate boards. The off leash dog area is great. Really good to spend a couple of hours with kids and dogs in the Mountains. Take your coffee though as nowhere within walking distance to food or drinks.
