A very nice and quiet place to go for a stroll in the afternoon or morning, great for dogs and the kids will love it also! With the water too... Plenty to see all round!

Beautiful walk which you can extend and do a longer walk . Great BBQ area with covered tables. Very nice play areas for the kids and a bonus small enclosed skate ramps. Walk a little further over and you will find another play area Heaps of nature with a running creek and ducks While walking around cross the little bridge over the lake and visit the community gardens. Thursday mornings they sell their produce to the public. Always plenty of parking. Everything is accessible by prams and wheelchair I do recommend walking around so you don't miss the beauty of these gardens.

Salt Pan Creek Wetland is a nice facility location in the heart of Riverwood high rise metropolis where has 2 playgrounds and a community centre with a public library and on site parking. The facility has a nice waking vibe and is good for the morning jog or after dinner walk. It is very vibrant with bird chipping and duck cruising in the water.

The entrance area sticks because of low water in the creek. But it gets better as you walk inside The playground is good and so is the open gym. Picnic areas are covered and overall ambience is ok

Very child friendly. My 3 kids and I enjoyed this walk. Very clean area. The creek with ducks was a big hit with my kids. Plus there are few play areas for the kids to play.
