What people say
Vast picnic area and playground. Has a fair number of large sheltered tables for those big family picnics. Lots of parking and a huge open field area. There is a little lake with some resident ducks and geese. Fully plumbed toilet facilities and a cafeteria. Beware though, if you want to use it on a weekend. You need to get in early as it regularly fills to the carpark capacity. You also have access to Treetops Adventure Park at a cost and early morning and evenings you will often see wild kangaroos.
Great place for family picnic. There's playground, lots of room for parking. Walking trails. Pond with ducks.
I had the pleasure of visiting this exceptionally well-maintained park, and I must say it left a lasting impression. The level of cleanliness throughout the entire area is truly commendable. It's evident that the management invests significant effort in ensuring a pristine environment for visitors. One notable feature is the convenient parking availability, which makes the overall experience hassle-free. The option to hire shelters is a game-changer for those looking to enhance their visit. These shelters are not only a welcome respite but also come equipped with useful amenities, including a sink and BBQ facilities. It's a thoughtful addition that adds a touch of comfort and convenience to the park experience. The presence of a sink and BBQ further enhances the park's appeal, making it an ideal destination for gatherings and picnics. The well-equipped shelters make planning and hosting events a breeze, and the added amenities contribute to a seamless and enjoyable outing. I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I was with the overall ambiance and functionality of the park. The attention to detail, from cleanliness to the thoughtful provision of amenities, sets this park apart. Whether you're seeking a serene spot for a family outing or planning a larger gathering, this park checks all the boxes. In conclusion, I highly recommend this park to anyone in search of a well-maintained, clean, and accommodating outdoor space. It's a testament to thoughtful planning and management, providing visitors with a top-notch experience. Kudos to the team behind this excellent recreational space!
My weekly escape! This trail is the perfect reset button. It's never too crowded, and the gentle inclines are just right. I love hearing the birds and seeing the seasons change with each visit. It’s my favourite way to recharge for the week ahead. A true local gem.
Nice park. Huge area to play in. Gave it a 2 star review so people would read this review and see the snake that i saw in the carpark asphalt. Slithering along on a 32 degree day. Park is 5 stars. It looked like the infamous brown snake. Bottom left of video.
