Very nice playground with cool equipment. Definitely loving the rock climbing equipment and the "pirate ship"esque rocking boat. Theres a great trail for parents which strolls along the river. To top it off, there ample parking, shaded by nice big bushy trees. A gem in canterbury

It’s a nice Park to plan and it has pretty good play equipment. There is a cool tree to climb and I like the spiderweb climbing equipment and the rock climbing equipment. There are lots of cockatoos here that eat the berries and then sometimes go crazy and get hit by the cars on the road. I think they get drunk from the berries.
