The park offers a plethora of amenities, including partially shaded seating, a drinking water fountain, and ample bins for convenience. With three slides, swings, and bridges, the play area provides endless entertainment for children. What's more, the play equipment area is spacious enough for adults to comfortably supervise their little ones. The presence of security cameras ensures added safety, although it would be ideal if the playground were fenced off. However, the surrounding area boasts several eateries and an Asian supermarket, perfect for a post-playground treat. Parking on the back street is a breeze, making access hassle-free. Overall, Wadanggari Park provides a lovely environment for families to enjoy. It's clean, tidy, and fosters a sense of security, ensuring a pleasant experience for both kids and adults alike. While it can get busy at times, the park comes highly recommended for children aged 2 to 12.

It’s open again today! The council has fixed the big slide and the playground after it was wrecked by some morons. They’ve replaced all the plastic and glass panels on the walking section with metal ones, so it’s much safer now.

The playground is great BUT not child friendly, lots of dangerous area where kids can easily get hurt and injured. The garden bed also very dangerous and sharp! I went to visit this playground for the first time and my boy got injured inside the tunnel where his head knocked on the metal and his head has almost 2cm cut and bleed for 30mnts . I was very shock and upset. Creating a playground should think carefully of the child safety in mind. Parents, please be careful when letting your kids play here. I hope someone will fix this playground so other kid’s will not get hurt. This post is just for my honest opinion where I wish others will be very careful. I am not going back to this playground as well.

Super cool playground construction in Sydney’s north shore, it is one of the best open spaces that actually encourages both adults and children to enjoy the structures and the landscape. The playground is very playable and features various types of facilities compacted in this community centre. Very bold look and feasible layout for families with children to enjoy a day here! The luxury mix-used tower nearby has public amenities, cafes, restaurants and many fun stuffs! It is an very inclusive and all-age friendly urban landscape that truly add the values in many aspects.
