What people say
Great little local park that has some play equipment for the kids, easy to access, good to walk/run and do exercises in, carefree place to take your dog although not fully fenced and not recommended for off leash. Plenty of convenient parking, steps to sit down on if necessary, cannot remember any bins though for rubbish.
Note to fellow travellers: this is not a rest stop. Two toilet blocks both locked today. Evidently toilets are for sports clubs that use the ovals. There is a little playground under shade sails, and a bench under a tree.
Nice playground for young children with swings and slides plus more, sun shade for those hotter days and seats for Mum and Dad to watch. Next to a track and field area with a 400m track (grass), long jump put, little stadium and shot put/javelin nets area.
We were having a terrific time until we needed a toilet. There are 2 toilet blocks that were both closed - had to pack everyone & everything back up in the car - very inconvenient. Wont be returning.
New playground, good spot to stop in with the kids
