What people say
A small but decent playground. Great for a quick break to tire out the kids when in the area. Plenty of grass area nearby too for picnics or shaded relaxation. A pleasant walk down to the ocean front too and your dog is allowed on leash within the park.
This is m incredible spot to take your family. The playground is incredible spacious, plenty of room for the kids, to play, the benches and BBQ spots are in good view of the playground so you can be chilling at the benches watching the kids play, no issues. Its also right accords the street from a wide range of food spots, so if you aren't down to BBQ you can easily grab food and refreshments couple meters away. Its a real sweet spot
Nice park almost at the edge of water,it tailors for families with children or visitors just like us. After lunch we came to rest here while our little one plays with others or by himself. It has shaded areas good for stay off sun or rain. It has enough stuffs for kids to let out their energy. Public toilet is not nearby. Beautiful park!
New park with something for every age ~ Younger kids: sand pit with diggers, small concrete slide, trampoline, swings, water-play, wood logs for climbing, rope climbs close to the ground. Older kids: challenging concrete climbing area, large tower and slide. Note: flat bed see-saw useable for wheel-chairs. BBQ facilities and undercover tables & chairs that would be suitable for a party in the park. Negative: toilets are a 4min walk away.
An absolutely amazing park with a huge variety of things to do, and located right in the centre of Kiama! From huge slides to water play, excavators in sand to swings, this park has just about everything kids could want. There’s also a huge amount of green space, tables, water fountains and plenty of other things too. It’s also metres from the main road through town, so it’s convenient to stop off at, and everything is nearby.
