⭐ What Makes This Park Special

Family Playground Fun ✅

This playground is a real winner for the young ones, with heaps of fun gear like a big tunnel slide, bucket swings, climbing nets, and a sandpit that keeps toddlers entertained. The natural play spaces using logs and rocks add a cool, Aussie bush vibe that kids love to explore. Parents will appreciate the clean, well-maintained grounds and plenty of seating nearby to keep an eye on the ankle-biters. It’s great for kids aged 4 and up, but toddlers get a kick out of the sandpit and climbing logs too. Perfect spot for a fun arvo with the family!

Courts and Active Play 🏀🎾

If your crew loves a bit of sport, this park’s got you covered with both tennis and basketball courts. The courts are a solid addition for older kids and adults wanting a quick game or some practice. Just a heads up, some of the nets need a bit of fixing, and balls can roll down the nearby creek, so keep an eye on the little ones chasing after them. Still, it’s a great spot to get active and have a laugh with mates or the family.

Chill Zones with BBQ and Picnic Spots 🍖🪑

After all that play and sport, you can kick back at the covered picnic tables with BBQ facilities and chairs. The park’s big grassy lawns are perfect for a picnic or just lounging around while the kids burn off energy. Toilets are close by, which is a bonus for families. It’s a clean, tidy spot that’s well looked after, making it easy to relax and enjoy a sunny arvo with your mob.

Pretty good little local playground. A sandpit, bucket style swing, big tunnel slide, climbing net and a few natural play spaces using rocks and wood.
It's nice and well maintained but could use shade and maybe a few more bits of equipment.
