👍👍 Great fenced playground. Close free parking lots of shade. Lots of space. A great water play feature my kids are obsessed with! People here are always friendly. Close clean toilets. Grass to picnic. Lovely relaxing spot with lots of nature, sounds of birds and creatures walking around.

    Lots of nature play style areas with some climbing equipment too. Suits a lot of ages and there are some climbing areas and play areas for older kids on the other side of the creek. When not infiltrating water the creek is awesome too and should be even better once the trees grow some more

    Awesome playground with good clean facilities. Gated area, with tables and 2 BBQ areas. Downside, HEAPS of rats. Saw so many during daylight, and they were everywhere once the sun set. Also a massive tree branch fell down while we were there, Scary to think we were just underneath and so could other people! Dogs allowed on leash no more than 2m.

    Great playground for the wee ones, a large play area & run around area nicely fenced in in pleasant surroundings with BBQ facilities available.. kids love the water features and is a good place to catchup with or meet other parents out with their kids.

    A unique little playground with copper/metal looking play stuff/huts and the standard equipment like slides and swings and obstacle course like things. It is easily accessible and seems like a fun place to bring the kids. I think some adults were even having a bit of fun on the equipment!

    A great fully enclosed playground. Suitable for children of all ages. The big banyan tree inside is a feature. There are also two barbecue halls. It's very suitable for family to play here. There are lights at night.

    Great playground with water to play with. Remember to bring an additional set of clothing and remove shoes before playing in the water. The playground also has a small slide, a bigger slide, swing for 2 to 4 children, etc. There are barbecue facilities and plenty of picnic tables.

    This was so much fun. The water play area is interactive with the ability to change the direction of the water flow to create and dam your own rivers and ponds in the sand. I'd suggest bringing some sand play toys if you're planning to visit ❤️

    Beautiful new park but three main issues: No swings for older kids (anyone over 5 would have trouble using the baby/toddler swings which require parental help to get kids in and out of. The water play area is great, but I hate to think of the massive waste of water? The tap is turned on full and the ground is catching the sandy water…? Could be more seating under the fig tree to enjoy the shade.

    A fantastic nature play space for the whole family. There are not many benches and seating areas but this is no big deal for such a good green space in a central location. We held a small community event here a few years ago and would do so again

    Nice park. Best for 1-5 year olds. Would be good to have a couple more things for the kids to play on.

  • 5/5 KENSUN L. 11 months ago on Google
    It’s a nice place for kids to play. It has a water pumping area, and children are crazy for it. Around it, there are many areas to play football and basketball.

  • 5/5 Tahlia H. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of shade and variety of play areas for the kids. In particular the water play is always a hit with the water pump and sand pit. Loved the coffee van parked just outside the gate too.

  • 5/5 Michael 1 year ago on Google
    Good park for young kids. Fully fenced, toilets and coffee van (sometimes) close by. Water play available, climbing options, swings etc. A few tables and grass areas for a picnic/party.

  • 3/5 Eliza C. 1 year ago on Google
    In theory this place is great, but it just isn't as good as it should be. Slippery dips are metal and are too hot to use in summer. There is an awesome water play area, but it seems like every time we're there the water is turned off and can't be put back on. There's a cool swing that has 2 preschool spots with a long attachment between, but there's no single swing so only 1 group can use it at a time. There's toilets, but they're not close to the play areas. It does have a good fence though.

    Probably the best play ground situated near the city, its has basketball and tennis court beside. Parking is also easy, you can easily get a parking at the road side. And public toilet just right at the entrance of the park.. Convinient.my son and I Love it!

  • 5/5 Erika B. 2 years ago on Google
    One of our favourite parks to visit! Kids love the water feature- bring bathers or a change of clothes. Or they can play on the playground. Picnics and Bbqs friendly, so pack your baskets. Bathrooms are close by and clean most of the time.

  • 5/5 Lauren R. 2 years ago on Google
    Kids loved it. Plenty of differing play options. Lots of shade, beautiful trees. Busy on the weekend. Bring a change of clothes, as there is a water play area.

  • 5/5 Hanna P. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautifully integrated into the park. Lots of nature play, and some cool play equipment for toddlers and primary school children. Lots of natural shade too and a possibility to go for a stroll in the park.

  • 5/5 antoinette m. 2 years ago on Google
    It's soooo relaxing here with great playgrounds, BBQ facilities, toilets and a running stream.....I totally recommend it for a family day out

  • 4/5 Matthew C. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice little park great lawn and shade areas. Some of the playground equipment had wet sandy mud from the water feature. But otherwise this is a fun park for little ones

  • 4/5 Grant T. 5 years ago on Google
    Terrific fenced playground and picnic area for younger kids probably 2 and up. Couple of steel slippery dips, climbing and balancing apparatus, rock mountains, double swings. And....water troughs, sand and water equipment. This is the unique and is a winner. There are gas BBQs and a fair bit of shade. Outside the fenced area are rock creek crossings and some climbing apparatus. (maybe 9yo and upload)

  • 4/5 Janet’s J. 5 years ago on Google
    Park play space has been nicely updated. Offers lots of nature play as well as climbing equipment for kids young and older. Has a 2 bbq areas undercover, and a huge tree offering shelter from sun. All enclosed. Tennis courts and enclosed dog park nearby nestled amongst lots of greenery trees. Updated auto Toilets Offers street parking but not enough when the park is so popular.

  • 4/5 Amber D. 4 years ago on Google
    Great little park for the kids. Plenty of nice shady spots to sit, awesome nature play water activity stations for the little ones and a good playground area. My only suggestion would be to improve playground options for toddlers as the slides etc were more for older kids.

  • 5/5 Lifen M. 3 years ago on Google
    A place I would love to bring children back again and again. The other day I saw some kids work together to make a “flood” by keeping pumping while others made a dam underneath in the sandpit area. What a great idea for stem project learning for all!
