    Great park. Lots for kids to see and explore. Has in-ground trampolines, mirrors, tunnels, a slide, animal statues to find, a birds nest swing, seating for parents, a platform that spins (no idea what they are called), and a water park that’s activated by a button (all parents try and avoid drawing attention to it during winter, but once the Button is pressed, the secret is out! Recommend bringing spare clothes and a towel). There’s also barbecue facilities nearby. The lark is fenced, which is food because it’s right next to the river. The river itself is beautiful, worth a walk before leaving. I don’t recall seeing any bathroom facilities but I also wasn’t looking for them.

    Fantastic place to spend a day or just an afternoon. We were lucky to get gorgeous views of the sun over the Hawkesbury river just before sunset. Nice walking path parallel to river, ample grass area to set up picnic next to the river. For children: Big, gated, clean play equipment area (with swings, slides, flying foxes). There’s also water play area in summer. Unisex Toilets are next to the children play area. These are also wheelchair accessible. Picnic tables and some shaded picnic tables on either side of the children play area. Parking available & ample street parking. All in all one can spend just half hour watching the views offered by this place & get refreshed or spend the whole day, which will be totally worth it.

    fantastic gated playground for kids, with a small water play area within. great creative design with creatures to find, tunnels to go through, music to play, hills to climb, trampolines to jump on etc shady trees around but the park is not undercover. decent parking, water bubblers and toilets 🚻 beautifully set on the picturesque river, so a lovely picnic or walk is also a good idea.

    Great park for family to roam around and get fresh breeze from the ocean. Great views of Opera house and tons of old floras.

    A very nice park. Nice, clean and well kept when I visited. There are walks along the river and in the park. Nice shade under the trees to have a picnic or sit down to relax. A lot of bird life it the trees too. Nice park. Just watch out for the speeding boat people who didn’t care for the people walking in the park.

    Such a serene place at Western Sydney! Open space with electric grills available and unbelievably beautiful scenery looking at Hawkesbury River.

  • 5/5 Karina M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful park. Has, I think 4 BBQ stations that are undercover and over look the river. The park is completely fenced and has a flying fox outside the gated area. There are toilets and some shaded places to sit. Plenty of parking across the road, entry to the overflow car park in just opposite the park. Highly recommend!

    Nice park and river walk, bit impacted by floods but still a good place to visit for especially at sunrise/set.

    A great park to set the kids free and sit down and watch. It has amenities attached to the park, although they are not as clean a expected. No toilet seats, didn't have toilet paper either.

    Nice family park, not overly crowded. Good playground for kids. Toilets, bbq place, picnic area available. Enjoyed a nice picnic with the family.

    This park is amazing. You can bring your own boat or jet ski, there’s a lot of cool space and so much more. Also, there’s points for free, so if you need to charge your Tesla, bring an extension cord (they’re located behind the centre of the bbq and sink). The bbq is free to use, plenty of children’s activities and so much seating, covered area and parking nearby. Amazing facilities. What a great community resource for all to use and enjoy!

    This park is underdevelopment. The playground has been finished and is a very good one. They have a xylophone, water feature/sprinkler, tunnel and bridge, wheelchair accessible merry-go-round, mini trampolines at ground level, they also have a drinking bubbler, shade under a big tree, and other subtle decorative art features. Looks like they may put other facilities in soon. They also have a shaded set of picnic tables with a single gas bbq. This picnic area would not hold a large number, but it is still a good place to come to with your kids. There is also a nice Riverside walk which is wheelchair accessible. This is an excellent product of government funding that will serve many now and in the future.
