💬 What Visitors Are Saying

Well maintained and clean facilities. We had our lunch and walked our Cavoodle while there.
It"s an advantage park with walking tracks and kids play equipment..and some basic toilets that are in well need of an update.
There is a disability swing and a antique steam engine.
Cute playground with something for most ages. Train is a great attraction.
Good playground, my son likes exploring the train.
The swing flying fox was AMAZING for small humans, it wasn"t so large that you have to run with them.
Great skate Park where we took our grandchildren and friends. They had a ball.
Nice park full of gum trees with cool playground, a huge train, skatepark and dirt jump tracks.
As well as a cool old train and playground equipment for all who wish to indulge, there are well maintained toilet blocks, access to filtered drinking water and free, clean, gas barbecues.
Only tiny issues like the toilets could use an upgrade and the car park is tight and has trees in it.
