Small decent park, couple of swingsets some play equipment. Bit dodgy ramp hill thing to climb upon. Toilets not nice and found needles which was disappointing.

Small park with playground for kids, suitable for picnic. There are plenty of seating area, water refill station and public toilets.

Nice place to stop by after a trip up Blue Mountains view/hiking points. Nice grass for picnic (also got a shaded area - though small) playground for kids and general great ambience. Highly recommend

Nice little park has a cool plane, in autumn look great with the mass of colours from the leaves, has public toilets and a covered picnic table and some tables in the open. One half has no play equipment so if you don't have kids you can enjoy the park without them. There is also a plaque of when the parked opened in 1934. The fence is low so strict supervision is required for young ones.

Many memories from long ago, both happy and sad. My daughter was hit by a swing at two years of age and suffered a broken femur. Time spent in Katoomba Hospital but she had to be taken by ambulance to StGeorge Hospital to spend many weeks in traction. Glad to see that the giant swing has been replaced, and the whole park is now for the use if children.
