What people say
It's a great place only there is never parking! And watch out for your belongings, a few times some items magically disappeared. Dogs are also not making pleasant. But otherwise it's fine!
Barracluff Park is a sport and recreation park in North Bondi. The Park was officially opened in 1910 and named after Alderman Barracluff of Waverley Council. The Park provides a sports field with lighting, district level playground with a half multi use court for basketball, tennis, and netball with handball line markings. There are no restrooms or BBQ facilities, it located 10 minutes walk away from Bondi Beach
The playground has been recently renovated and is very good for little and big kids, with a great mix of play equipment and nature play. Entirely fenced in but often busy.
One of the largest parks in North Bondi in Sydney. Barrcluff Park is very popular with local residents, especially for dog walking. The park has a new District level playspace that people are travelling to visit. There is also a junior sport field in the park.
Kids BYO basketball net because they spent a fortune on one for adults but no budget to install one for kids, but not even decent places to attach a kids one so parents can play the kids on the proper court. Who designs these playgrounds?
