A lovely little playground with enough to keep toddlers and kids busy. It's enclosed and has some nice sheltered seating areas. Only drawback is the lack of shade for very hot summer days.

Any bit of green space adds quality to a neighbourhood and I am thankful for that. This park has one grill, fenced kids play area, two covered picnic tables within the fenced area. Does get busy with kids and family when the weather is nice. Wish it had a few more benches and tables as well as a few exercise equipments aside from kids play area like many parks in Ryde Council do, so adults can enjoy the park more.

A very busy playground! Lots of different types of play equipment but no clear separation between those suitable for toddlers and those for bigger kids. My son got knocked over a couple of times by big kids flying around an in-ground merry-go-round, which was right next to some toddler play equipment. It's next to some high density housing so parking is limited, but the access road is a no through road, so safer than a main road. Play equipment is all in brand new condition. Lots of shade sails and low seating for parents to sit and supervise.

A small park but good variety of equipment for young kids. Some of the ropes could do with being replaced - worn and tattered. Adjacent to a strange grass basketball area. Gets a good chunk of sunshine so nice to visit in winter, but would be stinking hot and unbearable in summer in the kids area.
