The oval is great to play sports or any activities as it's a really bug area. As for the playground though, it could really be improved. There's not much to it, even has one tall stare case for kids to climb but it doesn't lead anywhere.

It's a shame that just beyond the oval at the entrance to Salt Pan Reserve someone has vandalised the bridge by setting fire to it! There are limited places to go in lockdown and this is another opportunity lost.

A good place to walk, jog or run. Few people cycle or ride their scooters. You may pump into a game or see some teams practise. There is a nearby playground for small kids. A decent size car park is available. Have fun and stay healthy.
