Lovely playground with lots of shade! Has lots of potential though at our visit there were a few things broken and we were not prepared for the playground turf🤣 Perfect for toddlers and the other side, great climbing equipment for older kids.

The park is nice and fairly well maintained from what I could see. There are plenty of places for the kids to play. They only issue was that the nearby toilets were padlocked 3 ways, and there were no directions to the toilets on the far side of the field next door. Fortunately exiting found them down the sidewalk at the far side of the park. Just beware of this if you come here with your kids - scout out the toilets first thing!

An absolutely fantastic inner city park. Has grass area. Big sand pit with water play area. Big choo-choo train on springs. A rock to climb on! Swings of various sorts. And a variety of other things to keep the kids entertained. Plus BBQ and sheltered area. Not fenced.

Be careful and careful not to leave the child on the swing unattended, it can easily tip over on its back! A good place to hide from the heat of the stone jungle.

Don't bother with this park. Just another Harbourside park without amenities. The view of the city was spectacular.
