Amazing place for kids to play. And also can do bbq and picnic too. It has walking track and bike track. Good environment. But bathrooms are not clean and the bubblers are jammed or damaged. Otherwise good park to spend time with ur kids and friends.

Beautiful and peaceful park right in the heart of Bankstown! 🌿 Great place for a walk, picnic, or just to chill. The kids’ playground (Livvi’s Place) is amazing — super inclusive and has lots of fun stuff like slides, swings, and water play. Toilets and picnic spots are clean and well-maintained. Perfect for families or just a solo break from city noise. Highly recommend! 👌

Bankstown City Gardens (part of Memorial Park) provides the perfect setting for tai chi, meditation and small wedding ceremonies. The shelters and play equipment also make it a good place for a small picnic lunch with the family. Features Picnic shelters Play equipment Public toilets Liberty swing

A wonderful little park/playground hidden in the back of Bankstown. Loads of equipment to keep kids of all ages interested including a flying fox for little and big kids. Plenty of seating, toilets close by and the whole thing is gated off from the park. Someone really thought about this playground since it maximises it's small space with lots to do. Plus we saw people come and clean down benches and seats just to be Covid safe. Nice work!
