What people say
The park is blocked off in the daytime time, you can park in the roadside car parks but have no access to the main part of the park where all the facilities are. I've been in there before, there is a toilet block & playing fields - plenty of parking & space. No shops.
There are soccer fields base ball diamonds a nice park to take my dogs for a walk through occasionally seeing kangaroos lazing in the sun some where to ride my bike. A bbq area would be nice.
Baseball field in dire need of good drainage put in. Some better signage near the fire station would be good also.
Pretty average field. One corner of the pitch is super slippery. Google maps sends you to the far side of the park. Many people passed it before they realised that that was the correct location.
