It's a small park buts nice there's a small playground toilets undercover tables and chairs and has some BBQs check out my YouTube video my channel is called James's big adventure and exploring channel
Cute little park nestled away from the highway, along the Cooks River. It's a small park, but really lovely. There is parking available, BBQ facilities, 2 sets of tables and benches - both undercover. If you park at Tempe Station you can also walk to this park in about 5 mins along a dedicated shared pedestrian/ bike track. The toilet block is a 2 min walk away from the park, and is very smelly and in need of cleaning.
Great park for family gathering, BBQ with friends, enjoying the beautiful day and night view. I like to sit by the river to enjoy the view with my favorite music. Good place for meditation and excercise😊
This is a really nice city park. Although it is close to a busy road the noise soon disappears and the peace settles in. I must confess at this pint that I run a small canoe and kayak hire business here. But this review is really an explanation of why I chose this place. There are lots of shelters and even more big shady trees. Although it can get busy it never seems crowded. And there is still lots of big and small sunny grassy spots. Although it is quite small, the size of a couple of soccer fields, its paths connect it all along the river for riding or walking. The BBQs, there are four are free and always clean. And there is usually very little rubbish. There are toilets, they are old but again usually clean (for public toilets). There is plenty of parking, and easy access from both Tempe and Wolli Creek train stations. (Tempe is the closer of the two). 5-10 min walk. And there is a beautiful river. For walking or cycling (or paddling). Though the water is cool on your feet, or for a dog, you wouldn’t want to swim. Lots of people catch and release fish, flathead and tailor amongst them. Again I wouldn’t eat the fish. Across the river at Wolli Creek there are plenty of cafes and eateries as well. (5-10 min walk)
This small park is perfect for day out. i have started exploring from Tempe Station and end at Princess highway near Wolli Creek. This park has play ground for kids too, you can see the beautiful view of small Jungle, river, birds and the sunset as well. I have seen people rowing boat as well.
