Beautiful park, nice walkways good location, heaps of mosquitoes – take mosquito spray!
The bypass ripped through the bush land there, but the park itself is in a mint location. Huge areas, plenty of tables, basketball court and what’s left of the bush on the park side of the bypass is still fantastic to explore.
