A decent park to relax while waiting for a bus. There is a toilet amenity, water bubbler, children's swings, a Canon and many seats around. Plenty of large trees provide some coverage from the elements and the sun. There are coffee shops across the road and the park is located close to the ferry wharf.

Primarily just a thoroughfare with park benches. OK to sit and eat your lunch

Small park surrounded by bus stops and across the street from taxi stand. Swings for the kids on the one side. I have seen people having picnics there. They have the Manly food market in this park.
