What people say
It is nea Fairfield shopping centre; it has short, circled walking tracks within a playground. Found these tracks helpful for the little one cycling … challenges. Any 🚻 toilets? You can do it in the mall 🫣🫢oh the swing set makes this squeaky noise!! Music 🎶 what does it take to fix this? A report perhaps 🤔
Best kept secret. Less people then coogee to manly or spit bridge to manly. Also more views a beautiful track.
An ok size park, has a few benches, a swing and a climb pyramid, that's it, not versatile at all, it's good to have a short time rest
Good old childhood memories of this park from 2004-2011. Back when everyone would come here to play and have fun after school until 9pm. Now it's a dead empty park with barely anyone ever using it. Not sure why they had to renovate it though. It was much better before the change.
