What people say
Often stay at Parkes but even if we are just driving through, this is a great spot to stop and stretch your legs, very clean toilets, fun playground for kids and highly recommend the two fenced dog parks :)
A good spot to stop when travelling through. Everything we needed with a dog park, amenities open at 6am and even a coffee shop next to the I formation centre.
Lovely place to stop for lunch and to stretch the legs. Has lots of playground equipment including a wheelchair swing. Also has 2 outdoor gym areas. Lots of undercover tables and bbq. Lots of tables around the grass area. Heaps of space. Ducks in the dam. Clean toilet block. RV dump point. Room for caravan parking on the road beside the reserve. Well done Parkes.
Lovely kiddy area with water games. Adult gyms. Nice water reserve. Across the road was Bushmans Historic heart smart walk so grade 4 or 5
