    I been to this park couple of time and spend some good relaxing time here. It’s a nice big park with some kids zone facility in the park. Got some parking facilities as well but most of the time it’s busy cause the parking is also used by the local residents. You can bring you pets here for a walk and spend some good and quality time. Of course you have public toilets facilities which is a good help.

    The layout of the park shows that some careful planning went into this place. There's enough room for people with babies and people with fur babies to do their thing without getting in each others way. Barriers/gates are strategically placed to keep the kids off the road, without creating any problems entering the park and there are enough trees to create a lot of shade, but not get in the way of your frisbee.

    Lovely park with kids playgrounds, bbqs and seats that are undercover and an additional undercover area with just seating. Plenty of grass space for picnics.

    A popular local park in Thornbury. The playground has been recently updated and is all the rage with the local kids. There is also an active dog community that use the other end of the park.
