What people say
Great little park from kids. Enough choices to encourage play for a while unless busy, with lots of people can be hard to entertain kids. Great sun protection in the morning, just before lunch time till 3:30 has too much Sun and play equipment gets very hot. Council needs trees close to west side of equipment or a shade cover or 2. Autumn to spring it is great in summer go earlier or stay home. Also, grass area is great but lots of weeds.
Playground equipment is in good condition and suitable for kids from ages 2 and up, and there is also good open spaces for bigger kids to run around and kick a ball, and picnic tables and a water bubbler. Only drawback is the lack of public toilet facilities. The lack of barbecue facilities is offset by the close proximity of the Narellan Vale shops which offer good options for pizza, Chinese food and a really good take-away and chicken shop.
