Really good grass. And lots of parking

A great recreational area with nice lake views where you can walk your dog and get close to the nature. It is part of a larger open space system contributing to the Monterey reserves and wetlands and is subject to the redevelopment under Bayside Council. Walking is not recommended on wet days as the footpath along the lake is not well constructed. The creek expands further to Rockdale Bicentennial Park in the north.

Lots of rubbish and stagnant water unfortunately.😞😢Amazingly there are lots of Willy Wagtails and red brown finches to watch.

Nice place for a walk or bike ride. Quite a few paths to follow next to the water and through some scrub and trees. There is also some birdlife to observe and even horses close to Ramsgate. So sad the tennis courts have become abandoned. Looks like they are upgrading the area between Rockdale and Ramsgate, very excited to see what it becomes.
