Hey I'm not happy, it says the there is bbq area, but there was no bbq area!! It's nice place, had lot if kids and families there, but I wanted to do bbq. So not happy that Google didn't know that!

Quiet playground for little kids. The council has put in parking limits so that the trailers and boats can no longer park there which is a BIG help - I have been able to get a parking spot easily now and it's far safer. The school uses the oval during term at recess and lunch, so it is quite dusty.

I don't remember being here, so I'm gonna assume I was on one of my "sleepwalks" in a subconscious, 3am-inspired march to reclaim parts of my childhood that I lost. As I didn't wake up mid-slide, I can only assume no old memories were recaptured and this was, in fact, a futile attempt to glean truth out of the past and not at all a useful park. Maybe one day I'll visit it when I'm conscious and I will update this review.

Surrounded by lots of grass and pathways, this large playground has lots of play equipment for all ages!

Great park for kids to play and for a little peace and quiet under the trees. The local war memorial is in this park
