What people say
Went here for the Sunday farmers market, very easy to walk to from caravan park with a sealed path all the way. Dog friendly, good fresh local produce, reasonable price for type of market. This Park is right on river and next to bridge. Walking path goes under bridge. A lot of people parked on opposite park area and walked over rather than parking over near market in park
Picturesque place on the river/inlet. Toilets available, 3-4 stalls. Small outdoor gym and play equipment. A lovely green space.
Commemoration Park , is a spacious family oriented green space & park This Ballina park , is discovered on the foreshore of North Creek - near Missingham Bridge Within Commemoration Park , are * New Park Exercise Equipment * Public Toilets * Covered Picnic & BBQ Tables * Walking & scooter path * Rock wall to fish off Plus on Sunday morning , there is a small but popular farmers market Commemoration Park is a scenic spot to do personal exercising and / or walking the dog I like the River view from Commemoration Park
Water views, clean BBQs that are Council cleaned every morning and a workout area. A great family area as long as you keep the kids on the park side of the path.
This park hosts a market every Sunday. Pretty good produce, coffee, herbs, honey 🍯 avocados 🥑 and lots more.
