While Stuart Park has always been a great place to let the kids run wild, the recent upgrade to the playing areas have made it the best park in Wollongong. With new sensory areas and plants, it has opened up a whole new area for kids. My son instantly loved the sensory art installation and plants he could touch and smell. The only thing that could help improve the park now is more seating, specifically around the flying fox area as that gets incredibly crowded. A new toilet block closer to the bbq area would also help. Wollongong city council really has put effort into the park and it shows.

There's a lot to love about this park, but the children in my life absolutely rave about the flying fox in the adventure playground. They also spend many happy hours at the adjacent beach, building sandcastles and playing in the shallows where the ocean meets the lagoon. There are public toilets nearby, and shade is plentiful. There are also some great paths (complete with traffic signs and line markings) for kids with bikes. Perfect spot for a picnic or BBQ.

Great family spot. Near the beach and cafe. 4 picnic shelters, a free push button electric bbq, assorted swings, slides, climbing tower and 2 flying foxes. There is also an enclosed special mobility swing.

What an incredible park! There is such a huge variety of things to do, and so many different areas. Every time we though we'd finished exploring, we found a whole new area dedicated to a different age range, amazing! It's nestled amongst a big open green space, and right by both the beach and the lagoon, so there are so many ways to incorporate this park into your day.

As a wheelchair user, this is fine when it comes to accessibility. There could be some more stuff, but funding and other stuff are to take into account. I really enjoy the swings and how people who cant use their legs have options too. I don't like how a full time wheelchair user (who cant get out) can't use the wheelchair swing without the key to the swing. I wanna use it but I don't wanna pay 64 bucks. Other then that, it's fun!!
