Quickly visited this park. Naturally quieter the more you move away from the main road. Did enjoy looking at the large amount and height of trees. Enjoyed looking over to Waterloo Oval. Play area for younger children and basket ball facilities.

This park is a popular spot for people to relax and enjoy the outdoors. It has a playground, calisthenics equipment, and wheelchair accessibility

Just visited to the Waterloo Park. I don’t know the kids enjoying the playground. It seems like abandoned like broken, dirty and empty.

There's some fantastic calisthenics / street gym equipment there, mostly various types of bars but it's all in great condition. The playground is good for small children. Doesn't get too busy during the day. Can be a little busy in the afternoon after work though.

A wonderful park full of lots of near new equipment. Probably one of the best equipped park in the area, besides Sydney Park. Also has a half basketball court, and lots of new calisthenic equipment for adults too. Some people wont like the fact that it's surrounded by housing commission though. But your not one of those latte sipping, better than everyone, coalition voting tossers are you?
