⭐ What Makes This Park Special

Family Playground Fun ✅

This place is a real treat for families with young ankle-biters. The park boasts multiple pools including a super shallow one perfect for toddlers and a deeper pool for older kids to splash about safely. The splash pad area is a hit, although some reviews mention it hasn’t always been working. There’s plenty of grassy space for kids to run around and play, and the pools are clean and well-maintained. While it’s not a massive park with heaps of rides or slides, it’s a solid spot for a fun day out with the little ones, especially when it’s not too crowded.

Beautiful Views That'll Take Your Breath Away 🌅

While the park is more about water fun than scenic beauty, families appreciate the spacious grassy areas perfect for picnics and relaxing. The large concrete areas around the pools can get quite hot under the Aussie sun, so bringing your own shade is a smart move. There are some permanent umbrellas and shaded picnic shelters, but many visitors wish there were more shady spots to escape the heat. The park’s open design offers a relaxed atmosphere, making it a pleasant place to hang out with mates and family on a sunny day.

Handy Amenities & Booking System 🚗

Campbelltown Billabong Parklands offers clean public toilets, showers (including warm showers which are a bonus on cooler days), bubblers for a quick drink, and BBQ facilities for a proper family feed. Parking is available but can be limited during busy times, so arriving early is advised. The park uses an online booking system to manage visitor numbers, which helps keep the place from getting too crowded. However, some families find the booking process tricky due to high demand. There’s no kiosk or food truck on site, so packing your own snacks and drinks is a must.

Things to Keep in Mind When Visiting ⚠️

A common gripe among visitors is the lack of shade, with many saying there’s not enough shelter around the pools or seating areas. The concrete surfaces can get scorching, so bring your own shade if allowed or book one of the pricey covered huts early. There’s also no food or drink options on site, so BYO is essential. Parking can be tight during peak times, and the booking system means you need to plan ahead. Some visitors have reported unfriendly or unhelpful staff and concerns about safety supervision, so keep an eye on the kids and be prepared for a bit of a wait to get in during busy periods.

💬 What Visitors Are Saying

Great place to swim, Clean and not crowded.
My children had a lot of fun.
Plenty of grass for the kids to play and great pools for kids of all ages.
The pools and water fountain areas are sooooooo great for little kids.
Currently it's free but still requires a ticket which you can get online for free.
There is absolutely not enough shade and the fact your not allowed to bring your own is stupid.
No food or drink options available. You’d think a brand-new facility would have at least a small kiosk or vending machines, but nope—you’re out of luck unless you bring your own.
Parking is limited for the number of visitors this place attracts.
The amenities were fantastic.
The booking process is always unavailable when we attempted.
