Awesome gated playground, super safe for the kids. Only downside is the toilets – pretty old and not well maintained.

Great for toddlers and primary aged children. Recently updated to include better play equipment suitable for a range of ages. Bike track, large grass oval, large picnic shelter. Bathroom and water bubbler have now been built. The playground is enclosed with a gate. On a main road, with designated parking for the playground. Probably one of our favourite playgrounds!

Brand new playground with new toilet block and play equipment. Suitable for a variety of ages. Fenced from the road. Easy parking. See parksandadventuresofsydney on Instagram for more.

Kids love this park and playground. Plenty of things for kids, particularly for toddlers to 10 years plus a walking track that kids can also ride their bikes or scooters

Good range of playground equipment, suitable for toddlers to older kids. Plenty of room for kids parties. Good little park - gated from the road which is a bonus.
