Park is quiet and is just next to the new light rail stop. It has doggy bags and water bowl for dog owners. Park usually is not so busy and it's good. There is also a playground for kids and a skateboard ramp. Pretty good tucked away spot for inner city living.

A nice restful park directly next to the Surry Hills light rail stop. 2 playgrounds and facilities. 🎠 Two playgrounds, a fenced-in one for smaller children on the west side and one for larger kids on the east side. The East one has a climbing frame, flying fox and perhaps Sydney's smallest skate park. 🌭 One barbeque with benches nearby. 🚻 One toilet (the City of Sydney timed one) with a temporary one as well. 💦 Two bubblers 🚈 Just steps from the Surry Hills light rail stop. Ample green space for picnics and quite a few benches for sitting as well. You'll find two picnic tables in the shade on the southwest corner next to a ping pong table 🏓

I walked past here 9th June 2025 at around midday and I dropped my sunglasses. By a few steps I realised, and within seconds made my way back to the reserve and they were gone. Id keep an eye on your items in this area it’s too ghetto and not many honest people around. I was so upset my sunglasses were swiped quickly no dust even 😫

Another wonderful Surrey Hills park where lots of festivals are held and there is also a community centre the light rail access is directly in front
