What people say
I love this place, its just couple of blocks far away. Usually go there to get some fresh air. And yet, this place got bbq hot pan and toilets as well for them who wants chill nearby. A well equipped reserve. Cheers!
Good place to hangout with friends and family. Need more barbeque space and probably may be new shade so it can home two or more groups during peak times, then nobody will be disappointed if one of the shade is busy.
Always seems to have a lot of rubbish around and not particularly well maintained. The wood chips in the playground area are a PITA. Playground equipment however is decent and has a shade cloth. Barbecue area and basketball court add an extra star.
I was very disappointed to see a lot of rubbish people left in the park. Those rubbish brings risks to children's safety as well as health. Not recommended if condition is not improved.
