Such a cute park! Not 5 stars as it was hard to find and the toilets were difficult with a pram (you needed a key for disabled) / but it’s a 5 star play park for all ages of kids! I only wish it was gated as it’s quite spread out.

Seriously one of the best places to bring your kids! Amazing location with bathrooms, BBQ areas, shaded tables, plenty of areas to run around, an amazing array of animals and the best play equipment I've seen at a public park! This has now become our "go to" place to wear out the boy and its somewhere he can be safe and explore the local wildlife!

Great playground, just a short walk from the car park. Wheel chair and pram accessible. Everything is very spread out, there is an area for toddlers and younger kids, and an area for bigger kids.

A beautiful park hidden front the road and just a few min walk from the animal sanctuary itself. Wonderful picnic area. I love that it has a toddler friendly area and an area for the bigger kids.

A lovely and spacious nature reserve that takes playground and bush regeneration seriously. An impressive and modern array of children's equipment and climbing ropes, as well as a walking circuit for those wanting to explore more of the natural wildlife. The plaques along the way explaining the flora and fauna was helpful too, as well as a quick drive to Westfield's.
