Hawkenbury Recreation Ground

Park Playground

👍👍 More than I realised here for the kids in the park. Toilets, all weather pitch, sometimes even a coffee/snack van. With a two-year old and 11-year old, there was enough for both of them to do and places for me to supervise them both as needed. People often mention football, good, park, pitch, space, tennis, playground,

    It's a huge place with plenty of space to run, there is a tennis and basketball court, some outside gym equipment, the playground obviously lol, good few hours out if you bring a football or bike and a picnic (there's an overpriced shop but it's a 5-10walk away) and there are toilets next to the play area but be warned they aren't the nicest/most clean. It's great if you live in the area but it's not somewhere I'd travel far to visit, especially in the summer as there's limited parking.

    The football pitch is poor, the game had to be delayed twice where repairs to dangerous holes in the pitch had to be carried out. But on the good side the changing facilities are safe and of a good standard.

    This is a great little playground with toilets. It has equipment for children of all ages and plenty of shade and seating for adults.

    The football pitch is stupidly uneven but always good to see the mighty Hawkenbury FC play on a Saturday afternoon.

    Beautiful green space around TW. Close to mynplace so naturally I spend a lot of time in the park. Great facilities, gets a bit too crowded on a Sunday, but can't be selfish and keep the place for myself. Seen some beautiful sunsets and feels pretty safe. Could be better lit at night.

    More of a sport's rec ground but with children's play area. Astro pitch booking req lawn tennis, cricket wicket booking req and 2 grass football pitches booking also req through TWBC. And a pavillion for use with the cricket & football lot's of open space to let dogs run free. And a basket ball court and public toilet block. Plus car park for a limited number of cars.

    It's a lovely little place. With a children's play park, a few fields and shut off parts for football and tennis, a good distance around (1k) so good for walkers and joggers and a brilliant outdoor gym. The only downside is that some people don't clear up after their dogs, despite there being bag dispensers and bins at every entrance to the park!

    It's a lovely park with a great playground and sports facilities.... but inadequate parking for the astro hire to football and hockey clubs. Parking all along the road and on the footpaths and corners. How come the council didn't insist the new housing development provided some extra parking???

    A lovely little playground! Could really do with something somewhere for a cuppa for the parents!! The woods behind are also worth a wander.

  • 5/5 Leanne R. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely well maintained open space with tennis court, gym area and park. Also one of the few places dog walkers pick up after themselves!

    Vast open space free tennis courts sports field with football pitches and cricket pitch excellent children's playground great for dog walking and has a car park. Also clean and well maintained.

  • 5/5 Kirsty Marie P. 4 years ago on Google
    Wonderful recreational ground with a playground suitable for a wide age range of children. It is all soft/ spongy type paving so if it rained the day before the kids arent going to get muddy. There is fencing around the playground so it is safer from dogs roaming and to keep an eye of toddlers. There is a large green space to enjoy with a path around the edge for mud free walks. There are also tennis courts, outdoor gym and basket ball courts for adults and children to play in. An astroturf football pitch (this has to be booked and paid for) for club games.

    Great little place to take the kiddies. Not a great amount amount to do, but what is there is enough to warrant a good few smiles and some pretty pics to go with them. There's a tennis court for older children and a field big enough for a spot of football/running too, so it's all good ;)
