Sir Joseph Banks Park is a fantastic local park! It boasts excellent playgrounds for kids of all ages, great picnic and BBQ facilities, and even a fenced off-leash area for dogs. The paved paths are perfect for walking and biking, and the connection to the Botany foreshore offers lovely water views and plane spotting. While you might notice some airport noise, it's a really enjoyable and well-maintained community space.

We had such a fun time at Sir Joseph Banks Park! The playground is incredible – one of the best we’ve been to. It’s got a great mix of climbing structures, nature play, and sensory elements that kept the kids entertained for ages. The whole area is beautifully designed and so spacious. We also wandered through the bush tracks and spotted a few ducks by the wetlands, which was such a nice, peaceful break from the city. There’s plenty of grassy space for a picnic, and the BBQ areas looked great too. After all the running around, we popped over to the Sir Joseph Banks Hotel for lunch – their beer garden was the perfect spot to relax and recharge. Definitely one of our new favourite family-friendly spots!

What a great park for family! A huge space has a lot of playground equipment and entertaining facilities such as sandpits, flying fox, cycling road, big slide, monkey bars, trampolines, swings, BBQ space and so much more. Easily could spend a few hours to a whole day!😊 +) brand new beautiful and well designed equipment. Has a nature around. -) the active kids can possibly get lost because of huse space, the pond can be dangerous for little active one, toilet is too far from top playground and so dirty, no cafe around.
