What people say
Small park but magnificent. It was windy when we visited this park. We had lunch in this park and spend an hour here. Tiny flowers in this grass looks awesome. It’s nice experience to have lunch with group of friends and families. Car parking available near to road.
A quiet small park at Merrigang st, surrounded by Mittagong creek and Cherry Tree walk, very well maintained, I walked a around with the amazing company of ducks, it was midday, what a nice experience! There are not picnic tables or public toilets but is just a perfect to enjoy nature!
A peaceful neighbourhood park with a pedestrian path along a creek. A closer exam of the lawn and trees revealing regular gardening.
A simple park, it's calm away from traffic & congestion. It's fresh air with a Creek. I couldn't locate chairs & tables. I sat on the grass for a lunch, very nice & quiet.
The park itself is just ok but the cherry trees walk is great
