Update 2025 (minus 2 stars), dogs are awesome, what is not awesome is dog owners not following the rules of on leash when sports games are underway and not picking up your dogs 💩 ! Kids are playing and don't want to walk into your dog's business! No one else is going to pick it up, unless they walk into it. It's such a shame to see so many people walking around without a care in the world. Own it please dog owners. Old review: Amazing well kept park. The only downer is the dog walkers need to make sure their dogs are on a leash when there is organised sports and games happening on the oval.

Clean park in a great location would recommend heading down here weather it be for a game of cricket or just taking the dog for a walk.

Great quiet park with plenty of parking nearby. There is a playground, basketball court and an outdoor gym. Also 2 soccer fields and a walking track that loops around them.

Such a peaceful and relaxing little park. I love taking my dog off leash here, and have for years! Nice to have parking, toilets and playground too. At the moment it's undergoing a major renovation, so you can't access the grass at all! Don't bother to come back till around April 2022 (apparently when the work may be finished) unless you want to visit the kids' playground or walk around the fenced-off oval.
