⭐ What Makes This Park Special

Family Playground Fun ✅

The playground at Saint Helens Park is pretty basic, so don’t expect a massive adventure playground, but it’s a handy spot for the little tackers to have a quick play. Mums groups often hang around here, making it a friendly place to meet other local families. While it won’t tire out the kids completely, it’s perfect for a breather after a walk or fishing session. The grassy areas nearby offer plenty of space for kids to run around or kick a ball about, making it a simple but practical spot for families.

Beautiful Views That'll Take Your Breath Away 🌅

Saint Helens Park boasts stunning views of the jetty and sea, making it a top spot for a peaceful walk or a moment to reflect. The beach is lovely and clean, with a sandy stretch perfect for a stroll or letting the dogs have a run. Locals rave about the well-maintained grassy areas and the idea of adding Norfolk Island pines along the facade to boost the natural beauty even more. Whether you’re catching a sunset or just soaking up the fresh sea breeze, this park’s coastal charm is a real winner.

Fishing & Outdoor Fun 🎣

Fishing is a major drawcard here, with many anglers scoring a good catch from the pier or beach. You can expect to reel in salmon, flatties, whiting, and even banjo sharks if you’re lucky. It’s a great spot for a family fishing day, with plenty of space to set up rods and enjoy the sea air. Plus, the sandy beach and open grassy areas are perfect for a casual walk or some light exercise after casting your line. A true blue spot for those who love a bit of outdoor action.

Easy Access & Family Amenities 🚗

Saint Helens Park is well set up for families with a big car park right next to the playground and beach, making it easy to unload the gear and settle in. The public toilets are clean and well stocked, providing a no-fuss option for families on the go. Free BBQs provided by the council are a top bonus, perfect for whipping up a snag or two on a hot day. The park’s dog-friendly areas, including a free-run sandy beach and on-leash grassy zones, add to the convenience for those bringing their furry mates along.
