    Very nice park with plenty of space for the dogs. Cricket usually plays here Friday and Saturday until 6pm so keep that in mind if you want to come with the dog. On Fridays cricket half of the park is sometimes empty so, it's a bit of a hit and miss there. The park is not swampy at all and you can enjoy a good run even after it rains.

    Provides a very large open green area. Pitches were in tip top condition. Nice playground as well.

    Great off-lead dog park. The field is raised, so it drains well and doesn't become boggy and muddy in wet weather. It is 95% enclosed by fencing so quite secure for well behaved dogs. Good size car park off the main road, and a water fountain. Bins get emptied regularly. Vast majority of dog owners are great and respectful.

    Played junior cricket here, the oval itself is nice, good drainage and was nicely mown.. the little play ground off to the side was good enough for the kids to play on, swings, slide and platforms.. However the facilities they had open for the parents and kids to use were actually disgusting, beyond dirty, no toilet seats, or toilet paper, rubbish everywhere, it was really gross. If these weren't locked toilets, maybe I'd expect what I saw but for locked toilets, they were actually horrific. It's a good place to walk dogs, however please pick up dog poo and if kids are playing cricket, have some respect for them and keep your dogs out of the game.

    There are a few soccer fields. Junior league on some Sunday mornings. Very well maintained with boundary lines. Ground is firm and flat even during winter. No public toilets or BBQ facilities.

    Dog poo everywhere. No one picks it up. Ground was not suitable to play soccer on. Basically a dirt track. Needs more investment from council.

    Great park to bring your dog off leash with a large area at the right time, there are sometimes sport matches being played on the field as well though. You can sometimes get larger more aggressive breeds come to this park though so you just have to keep an eye out.

    Good sized park for off-leash dogs. There’s a playground and 2 cricket pitches. Toilets are available. Good parking too

    Massive dog park, hidden away. Really beautiful and a great place for hoomans and pets.

  • 4/5 George P. 1 year ago on Google
    Too many dogs at times. Also they should occupy centre of oval.. not hang around perimeter where they can distract the walkers

  • 4/5 PΓ©ter P. 9 months ago on Google
    Great soccer pitches. Pitch is not muddy even after big rains.

  • 4/5 Suryani I. 10 months ago on Google
    Great playing surface. need to add more lighting to the far end of the pitch and tidy up the pavilions.

  • 5/5 Col 9 months ago on Google
    Well maintained sporting fields, carpark, playground and toilets.

  • 3/5 mandy p. 1 year ago on Google
    Rather under curated playing fields for junior teams. Large expanse of green however so not to be undervalued.

  • 5/5 Joanne H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great playground for dogs. Quite a few dogs there on the weekend afternoon. My puppy was so satisfied and exhausted. We were worried about mud from previous rain but the grass turned out nice and dry. Would be one of our favourite spot.

    Small playground, but a nice quiet place for a kid's birthday party. It's next to a nice oval for a run and kick around.

  • 5/5 ryan y. 1 year ago on Google
    Great dog park with playground, toilets and drink tap with plenty of parking. Lots of area for dogs to roam around.

    really nice place for dogs to play, we love it, but watch out for this crazy dude with a German shepherd (and don’t let your dog near him he is quite abusive) that yells at people with really dirty language
