What people say
Superb park. I've been to this park on a number of occasions; BBQ, Live Music, a Native Bee Course in the Community Garden. The BBQ plates are hot so food cooks evenly and quickly. On my most recent journey I found a shortcut through to Lane Cove River (via unit block 300c). Parking is very limited. Family friendly, wheelchair accessible.
Just a bit disappointed how dirty is it. This park used to be my older son favourite park before I went there again with my younger. So sad look old and dirty.
There are tons of apartments and the views are spastic as you walk down towards the ramp. There's boats and a nice picnic spot 👌 It's a 😍
