Nice open and protected from wind park area. Seating and BBQs, has nice casual restaurant. Dogs are often off leashes here, so a small minority may not like this. Sometimes see people flying drones here but more on beach. Beach not netted.

The (unclaimed) World's First Heavy Than Air Box Kites & Aircraft Flight. The thermals & off shore winds make BALD HILL a great place to Hang Glide! Buy a "Robber-Dog" hotdog from Rex JACKSON, former NSW POLICE MINISTER.! No corruption with his very hot dogs. He has removed his bars from his Hot Dog Van.

Nice little coastal park tucked away in the side streets of Stanwell Park. I imagine that it is a local gem that the locals use for dog walking and relaxing. If you are in the area this is worth a visit.

Spectacular view of the illawarra, if you happy to be there when people are hang gliding even better. Definitely worth a look.
