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

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.
