⭐ What Makes This Park Special

Family Playground Fun ✅

Clifford Park is a top spot for the ankle-biters with a decent range of playground gear that keeps them busy for yonks. The dish swing and spinner are particular favourites that get the kids spinning and laughing. Parents reckon it’s a fun place that holds the kids’ attention well, making it a solid choice for a family arvo. While there’s limited shade right now, the newly planted trees should help cool things down as they grow. Just keep an eye out for dogs around the playground, as some are off leash despite signs.

Open Oval and Green Space to Stretch Your Legs 🌅

The flat oval at Clifford Park is a standout feature, perfect for a kick of the footy or a casual run without worrying about soggy patches after rain. It’s a nice open space that gives the kids and adults plenty of room to move and enjoy the fresh air. While the park is a bit light on shade at the moment, the growing trees are set to make it a more pleasant spot for a breather in the arvo. Overall, it’s a pleasant green space that locals appreciate for its openness and versatility.

Things to Keep in Mind When Visiting ⚠️

Some visitors have noticed rubbish and broken glass around the park, so it’s worth keeping an eye on the kids and maybe bringing along a picnic blanket to avoid the ground. The park could do with a bit more maintenance and cleaning to keep it in tip-top shape. Also, while dogs are meant to be on leash near the playground, some are off leash, so if you’re bringing little ones, keep a close watch. Shade is limited but improving as new trees grow. No BBQ facilities yet, so plan your snags elsewhere.

💬 What Visitors Are Saying

Great Park with clean grounds and a great range of playground equipment.
Fun park for kids, seems to keep them engaged for a while. Between the fun dish swing and spinner.
Dogs are allowed on leash but most people seem to have their dogs off leash. Even in and around the playground 🤷‍♂️
Nice flat ground on the oval that doesn't hold too much water
Nice park with limited shade. But this problem is being solved as the planted trees grow.
