Wouldn't think you were in the mid of Sydney, toilets very clean and tidy, great place to sit and have lunch and let kids run around.

Beautiful big park with plenty of roadside parking, though it can be hard to find a spot during events. A very relaxing place, perfect for a picnic.

Nice park with a kids playground, climbing frame, and bike track. Playground is shaded and has equipment for different ages. Bike track is basic but flat and fun for kids who are learning!

We love to walk for all the park, but its enormous. There are many forms to access the park, but We prefer to entry beside the Opera House. To see the sea, monuments, seilbat, big ship, a lot of people... We like to seat down on the grass and to stay there looking around. Particularly, I feel peace, feel the elements, read the noise of the tree leaves... Go to the Park and enjoy the structure and the view.

This park that doubles as playing fields is wide and spacious and green. It is isest to go before sundown, after dinner, then it is lovely and worth a visit. You can see great skies and right across to the city .
