Stuart Park is a fantastic family-friendly spot and a perfect place to enjoy a relaxed picnic. We had a wonderful time spending quality moments with family, surrounded by open green spaces and a lively yet peaceful atmosphere. It’s a great place to sit back, unwind, and let kids enjoy the outdoors. One of the highlights was watching paragliding, which added excitement and made the visit even more enjoyable. The park has ample parking space, making it very convenient for families. Overall, Stuart Park has a total family vibe — ideal for picnics, leisure time, and a fun day out for all age groups. Definitely worth visiting again.

Stuart Park is such a great spot for a day out. The park is spacious, clean, and really well maintained. There’s plenty of open space for kids to run around, good playgrounds, and lots of shaded areas for picnics. The location is perfect, right near the beach and lagoon, so you get the best of both worlds. It’s one of those places you can keep coming back to and always enjoy.

A very pretty park just next to the Big beautiful Beach !!! I absolutely love this place! Have very easy access to beach. What a scenic beauty it does have!! Lots of different types of play ground for different age groups . Lots of activities for kids to do there. One of the most organised & big playground i have seen around Sydney for kids. Toilet facilities are the, BBQ facilities are there. U could sit on the beach or just near the banks of the beautiful Lagoon or may be just on the beautiful Green grasses. As the beach is just on the side, there is always nice, relaxing breeze 😊 Highly recommend if u are around woolngon area & looking for a nice place to spend your day doing BBQ or picnic with friends or family.

Stewart Park: Where Kids Spin, Run, and Smell the Fun! If you’re looking for a park that’s more than just swings and slides, Stewart Park is where the magic happens! This place is like a hidden playground wonderland with the coolest spinny things—seriously, I don’t know what they’re called, but kids jump on and go whirling, twirling, and spinning into another dimension. Then, there are these running circle things (again, no clue what they’re called), but they turn kids into human tornadoes of laughter. It’s like a mini obstacle course designed by a genius who knows exactly how to tire them out. But wait, there’s more! Stewart Park isn’t just about the action—it’s got a touch-and-smell plant zone that feels like a nature-inspired treasure hunt. Ever wanted to pet a plant? Say hello to the soft and fuzzy rabbit’s ear! Need to test your mosquito-repelling superpowers? Just rub the citronella plant and give it a sniff. The whole area is packed with fragrant herbs and interesting textures, making it a fun sensory adventure for kids and adults. Bottom line? Whether you’re there for the spinning, the sprinting, or the sniffing, Stewart Park is a must-visit. Just be prepared—your kids might never want to leave!
