What a great space. I do feel they could do more for the kids playground compatible to what I've seen on the Lake Illawarra foreshore, wow, but otherwise really enjoyed it here. No benches in the shade though, so say on the grass. Right on the beachfront, no dogs allowed on the beach. Kiosk was excellent. Lots of doggies getting to know each other too.

Nice park with huge parking lot for max 12hr and plenty of road side parkings available. There's a play area and toilets beside an ongoing construction. The area is a great place for winter market!
