Simple playground, nice grass area and path around, great shade, not well maintained though

Really not worth bringing your kids here. The play equipment is basic, broken, and poorly designed. There is rubbish and graffiti. Likely used extensively by teenagers at night. The bike path would be great for young kids learning to ride except there are drainage issues and a large section is underwater and probably unsafe for young kids to be around. The park isn't fenced so hard to keep kids off the road. Plenty of parking when it's not taken up by people going to the PCYC.

Syringes, smashed ceramic plates, graffiti, rubbish, broken softfall. Really terrible. I have made a report to council.
