Great little park. Public toilets, picnic tables and kids play equipment
The playground had no shelter and the equipment gets very hot on hot days.
There is a man made stream that meanders through the park with little bridges and a really old map of Australia island in the middle of a pond.
Public toilet at night isn’t lit and is up a grassy hill in between trees but is clean enough.
Beautiful space. Kids play area, picnic tables and a very nice safe spot for little kids to run around.
