Nice park to relax and have a chat or picnic. A lot of space for kids to run around. Street parking is easy to find most of the time.

One of the best playgrounds in the area with a flying fox. If you want a go on a walk, you can walk to the lagoon then south along the beach toward Wollongong's 2 lighthouses or go northward over the bridge and follow the flat walking track through Puckeys Estate Reserve.

Well maintained, relatively quiet and peaceful. Great spots to sit and ponder or eat your lunch overlooking Brighton Beach and Wollongong Harbour. Free Shuttle Bus Stop located right at Park entrance.
