Newly remodeled, this little reserve has a bench, a bubbler 💦, a bin 🗑️, and two hoops for locking a bike. That's it. One review mentions a playground, that's actually Douglas Grant Park (5 ⭐!) and is not part of Badu Reserve, although thanks to the shiny new pathway, it's easier and more well-lit to walk between the two. If you're walking along and need a place to chill, this is lovely. ☕ I highly recommend Fez and Co next store. Fabulous cafe, and you can see it in the photos. The wooden patio is part of the reserve, which is why you'll see the cafe doesn't have tables there, but you're off course welcome to sit.

Amazing and beautiful park that has just opened up again recently by the inner west council. There’s a nice walkway that takes you along the waterways with some parks tucked away at the end of the walk. There’s also a nice rocket ship with a very steep slide which will give the kids a nice lil kick. There are also bbq ranges in the area which makes it a nice place to have a family gathering or child friendly event

A nice little hidden park next to the Superbarn. Park only has two benches and nothing else. Can't really be described as a park but its quiet and offer a bit of privacy. The fun starts when you go further into the park, and get off the beaten path and follow the canal. This park connects to the Douglas Grant Memorial Park playground through an alleyway, so its worth the adventure if you are with the kids.
