This small playground and picnic area is an ideal spot to bring your little ones, as there is plenty of parking nearby, several shady trees and seating. With the paved walking circuit of Curl Curl beach park a five minute walk away, it is also a good option for families with children in strollers.

Its a good place with ducks pelicans n birds n swans in the lagoon which is in desperate need of clean but council is spoiling the natural beauty I feel by erecting too many ugly signposts n signs. They want to control everything even which side of the footpath you walk on !!

Great little playground area for little kids in Stirgess St. Short walk to lagoon to feed ducks, ovals and a bigger play area for older kids. Bike riding path to Curl Curl beach.
