Great park for all ages. Small, low play area for toddlers and bigger ones for bigger kids. Water pump and stepping stones. Lots of street parking. Can get very busy.

5 stars for a residential park, Fenced grounds near playground. New style play equipment boasting a smaller playground for the toddlers, Electric BBQ’s, Carpark, Restrooms and water bubblers. The grounds are well kept and landscaped neatly. Lots of benches and tables also. This park can be busy, car parks are hard to find. Not much street parking in this area. Great park for the kids!

Spacious park with play equipments for crawlers and also older toddlers. Lots of street parking, public toilets, and large lawns for celebrations/other picnic set ups! Empty during schools hours on weekdays but can get busy in the evenings and weekends! Only 1-2 cafes nearby, a street or so away. Will come back!

Anzac Park is a beautiful and peaceful place, perfect for a walk, picnic, or just relaxing outdoors. The area is always clean and well looked after, with plenty of green space, trees, and seating. It’s great for families, kids, and even pets. The atmosphere feels calm and respectful, especially with the memorial area that adds a special meaning to the park. A lovely spot to enjoy some fresh air and nature. 🌳🌺🇦🇺

Fantastic little park tucked right in the middle of the residences in West Ryde, just a short stroll from the train station. The park has a decent size kids area, a memorial in the centre, Nice walking path all along the park, electric barbeques.... Really well maintained
