A nice view overlooking the Yacht club and Lake Macquarie at the south end if Belmont. Toilet facilities and picnic tables available here and the Gunyah hotel is opposite the park.

Good park with plenty of seating and shade, and some local history. Has amenities such as toilets and sheltered tables, and is in walking distance of the Gunyah Hotel and Yacht Club.

Well keep Park, toilets are clean but a little dark even during the day. Love my afternoon fitness camp there. The awesome sunsets over the lake make it even more pleasant.
