My kids and I stumbled across this little gem. Neat little play ground/place to rest. Lots of people walking their dogs through here. Not your typical type of playground but the kids had a good time when we were here.

I dont think Edward has been here when my kids are playing. Not quiet then. A great park that uses the landscape and feels like the old natural explore and play parks, not the new overly curated. Hoping the council just do some running repairs like re-powdercoating the bars, but unfortunately it'll likely they'll take the cheaper route to replace with some plastic junk equipment.

This is a nice small park with a playground, a picnic table, and a small open field. There is a basketball hoop and a wall that you can play tennis against.

Small cute quiet park, pet and family friendly. Equipment and a place for sport with a small half basketball court/wall to practice tennis on.

This is a really nice little play area for kids. A really good alternative when Centennial Park is chock-a-block full. As it often is.
