Nice clean & tidy medium sized kids playground along the river @ Windsor . Great addition to the minimal riverside sheltered picnic area. plenty of shaded areas for a picnic lunch along the grass which is a bonus no matter the time of day. Great for non peak times but on those busy weekends the play area would become very crowded as the park in only equipped for small groups . The council could have utilised the space better & built a park equipped for large number of children @ any one time. Especially through out the busy peak summer periods.

For kids perspective it’s great Deal. Governor Phillip Park in Windsor, along offers a blend of historical significance and recreational facilities. It features picnic areas, electric BBQ's, a playground, and a boat ramp. The park is also the location for the annual Bridge to Bridge Water Ski Classic, and there are historical houses nearby. Overall nice location.

​A delightful place for a family day out! ​This playground is a absolute delight for children to play in. It features a great bike track and a fantastic water play area that the kids love. The entire space is very secure, which makes it excellent and stress-free for the little ones. ​On the outside of the park, there is a beautiful, large grassy area that is perfect for spreading out a blanket and enjoying a picnic with the family. Plus, it is right near the river, making the whole setting incredibly scenic and peaceful. ​Highly recommended for a family day out

Not as busy as other park on the weekend. Arrived at 11:30 and no one was using the electric grill! Great temperature, with a tap and socket right next. Playground is TOP according to the kids. Have water play onsite too. Big grass area, lots of seating and birds to see. Occasionally saw boats and planes. The only downside !! Three public restrooms onsite and only one was open. Two were locked with key. The opened one is so filthy. No hand soap available.
