Great little place to have lunch here. Even though it located next to a busy road, this place is relaxing and quiet. Has a playground if you have kids. You will see people letting their dog roam around here so avoid laying on the grass area. Park faces a windowed building and a busy road so there is no privacy here.

We refer to this as Slide Park, as the name implies, has a giant slide. Can be a very fast exit so be aware. Great climbing web and swings too. Bubbler just outside the fence and picnic tables. Bring the kids here regularly as it's fenced off. And a sneaky brewery across the lane.

Sunny position in winter and bordered by shade trees for relief in summer. Lots of seating and an enclosed play area for children. Lovely grassed area for pets to enjoy.

Recently refurbished by City of Sydney, this fenced playground has quickly become a neighbourhood favorite for local families. Good shade, fun equipment suitable for babies, toddler and bigger kids. The slide is fast, so adults especially should take care. Busy on the weekends. Good coffee and food available nearby at Saint Germaine on Wyndham opposite the park near florist Fleur de Flo, or visit Cockatoo Bakery on Botany Rd for delicious bread and pastry offerings.

I was babysitting my neighbours dog for the weekend and she loves this park. She is ball obsessed. .it is not a huge big park but it is just perfect for a dog who has a routine of two or three places she loves to visit every day. You get to sit and relax. It has a dog drinking fountain as well for thirst dogs.
