What people say
It's a good park with plenty of play area for kids. Very clean and maintained. Separate walking tracks. Good amount of space for Playing cricket, football etc. This park doesn't have BBQ. Plenty of benches to sit.
A nice, big green space for the residents of the surrounding streets. Has a good paved walking/biking path and enough space for casual field games. Evenings are bustling with adults and kids getting together for walks and talks. The kids area is well maintained, but there is a shortage is play equipment and is overrun by kids in the evenings.
Well maintained paddock with a children's park and bike track. The children's play area is crowded in the evenings. Very close to a the usually busy Darcy road. So you should have an eye on the little ones always.
Great place for morning/evening running/cycling. Watch out for kids , they are everywhere :) Lots of benches near the walkways. It was crowded in the evening though, all the benches were occupied. Fabulous place to hang around with the local people. What a place to make new friends for kids as well as their parents.
