⭐ What Makes This Park Special

Family Playground Fun ✅

This park has a small playground that’s just right for the little tackers to burn off some energy. Parents can keep an eye on the kids while enjoying a BBQ or picnic nearby. The grassy, nicely mowed areas provide plenty of space for kids to run around safely. Just a heads up, supervision is needed around the river as there’s signage warning about currents, so it’s not a swimming spot. Overall, it’s a solid spot to keep the ankle-biters entertained while the adults relax.

Photographers will love the misty mornings and the pure beauty of the river and surrounding farmland, including glimpses of white horses nearby. The park’s quiet vibe and natural setting make it a top choice for anyone wanting to escape the highway noise and soak up some Aussie nature. It’s a great place to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ripper views.

The well-maintained grounds and clean toilets add to the comfort, making it easy to spend a few hours here. The off-leash dog area means your furry mates can join in on the fun too. While there’s not much shade, the open space and river breeze help keep things pleasant. It’s a lovely place to unwind and enjoy a feed in the great outdoors.
