What people say
Had a really great time with my dog and friends here, shaded playground with slide and swings, bins and comfortable tables and chairs, would be beneficial to see toilets in the near future
Great little park. Nice slides, one normal, one with a wave in it. Climbing gym, swings and a little play shop setup. Plenty of grass to run a play 3 tables and chairs for picnics. Only downside, no toilets or bbqs.
Beautiful established park in convenient location. Fun playground with good shade. Lovely open grassed area with mature trees and tables
Decent sized park with shaded play area, picnic tables, open grass area a bubbler would be a nice but overall recommend it
I was just walking my dog passed this park & decided to take a few photo’s. The playground area was undercover which was nice. Large park. Unfenced. Otto bin for rubbish. A number of wooden picnic tables with bench seats that would seat 4 people comfortably. Some of the tables were under cover, some not. Large eucalyptus trees for shade. Large areas for families to play cricket, footy etc plenty of street parking. Didn’t see any public toilets.
