Riverstone Park is a multi-use community park in Riverstone with a skate park, basketball and netball courts, gym equipment, and footpaths for bikes and scooters. Locals describe it as family-oriented — varied play areas, exercise equipment, and even occasional drone pilot meetups using the open space.

The park isn't on Blacktown Council's off-leash list, so dogs stay on-leash under default council rules. For a confirmed off-leash run, Ridgeview Park Fenced Dog Park is about 1.5km away. The reserve has BBQs, drinking water, seating, and toilets (which visitors note need maintenance).

Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on-leash at Riverstone Park, a Blacktown City Council park. Under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs must be kept on a lead and under effective control, and are prohibited within 10 metres of children's play equipment and food preparation areas. Off-leash exercise is permitted only in Council's designated off-leash areas.

It's an okay park. The new exercise equipment is okay, might take some WD 40 down for the elliptical trainer lol. The toilets are always a bit rank so we make a quick trip home if duty calls. The skate park is built well.

A great place to take your kids to play. Plenty of different play equipment and a skate park. Plus outdoor fun equipment for the adults to use, and also footpaths to ride bikes and scooters on.

Interesting to see Drone Pilots flying their aerial flying machines. On certain days, several pilots battle out "shot outs" using their aerial cameras which can pan in two dimensions (up / down & port (left) / starboard (right)). The recorded vision / video / images are uploaded to "Drone Wars Software" developed in New South Wales, Australia. This amazing program will analyse each visual "contact" or "enemy drone". Points are awarded based on a multifactorial system. - the most central part of the drone shot. That is the BATTERY AREA. The battery area is equivalent to the fuel carrying wings. Central (centre of gravity (COG) x, y, z, co-ordinates apply) battery shot then a one centimetre sphere around the COG is a KILL HIT. Outside this sphere, a slow death shot. A slow death shot, means that the drone's footage which counts runs for just another 3 minutes. Thus footage Post 3 minutes is defunct. This 3 minutes is a user programmable variable or can be switched off. - the shooting of the CAMERA. The camera is equivalent to shooting the PILOT. Hence a DEATH SHOT. Shooter gains a KILL EMBLEM based on the shot down drone. Post HIT vision is disallowed in the HARSH RULES VERSION. - Single Propeller shot, all post hit enemy shots values are halved, (variable). Drone Pilot who hits this Drone gets a LIKELY POSSIBLE KILL. - Multiple Propeller shot, then next five minute are scored, then death. Drone Pilot who hits this Drone gets a POSSIBLE KILL.
