With good soccer fields, this park is good for jog as well. Parking is available and you can easily place rug or chairs to sit and enjoy soccer matches.

This poorly maintained sports field is ok to walk the dogs around but you run the risk of being harassed by feral youths. It's often an illegal dumping ground of rubbish; however, the new little playground is fun for kids.

It is a nice place to bring your kid's to play in the children's area. But just watch out for broken glass, never let your young ones run around without any shoes on. The equipment looks very new and there's not to much damage done to it, there is a bit of graffiti but it isn't to bad. Sports fields are very close and can be busy when the fields are being used. It isnt far from Featherdale Wildlife Park either. If you liked my review give me a tick on the blue hand and help me improve my google local guide experience, thanks...
