What people say
Right in the heart of the Western Suburbs, right off the M4 and Great Western Highway. Plenty of parking and some interesring government architecture. Lots of seating with tables, shaded areas, swings and toilets.
I recently visited Walder Park and was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was compared to other parks. The peaceful atmosphere made for a relaxing day out, and there was plenty of free parking available, even on a Saturday. It’s a great spot for a calm, enjoyable outdoor experience. Highly recommended!
Great place to visit with the family for a good picnic. Huge amount of benches to sit on, a few BBQs, toilets and waste bins. It has a decent kids playground and a huge ground area. Lots of kangaroos running in and around the park. It is a quiet and secure park. Closes at 4:30pm usually but also at 6:30pm during summer.
My gps led me to a locked gate and would reroute me to any other entry point. Absolutely no road signs anywhere for this park either. The area was nice once I eventually come across an entry point.
Good place to cycle one's bike to in the morning. Kangaroos about. Exercise caution (as it is not an animal enclosure). Enough spots to enjoy a picnic with friends and family. Some history behind in the place as well (with historical buildings and pumps). The local council / organisation charged with looking after the area do a good job (went here on a Saturday morning and it was tidy, maintained and well kept).
