Beautiful place for picnics and family gatherings. It has beautiful lake views and a nice little play area for kids. The walk around the lake was nice and really felt rejuvenated. It really does look beautiful during the autumn. We enjoyed our family picnic on the weekend. Plenty of benches and shelters to use. Playground: Nice and well maintained play area.

What a great find! Easily accessible, reasonable amount of parking. Playground and picnic area. Very popular, even on a chilly winter's day. Beautiful area and well maintained by local Council. Lots of water birds but didn't manage to spot any of the resident freshwater turtles. Maybe next time! Highly recommended.

This park is fabulous during Tulip time, a few impressive, big tulip beds interplanted with colorful annuals around late September to early October. Out of season,good park for picnics and taking your dogs for a run. Public benches and tables for your use and public toilets available

Nice place well maintened park for a short picnic. Need to watch the kids, the main road getting busy at times. At the moment, the amenities are getting a major renovation.

Nice park and bbq facilities. Just needs more pagolas around kids area for sun protection. Another toilet especially with the new stage starting to commence. Also maybe a basketball hoop to keep local kids playing on the road with their portable hoops because of small house sections.

Great park, well set out and even has toilets. Not a whole lot for littlies especially when they cant even get lifted onto the slide as its too high and bo way to climb but for 5+ is fantastic. The big flying fox was great.

Got it all disabled parking/toilets. Kids excellent playground, flying fox is fun for children & adults. Exercise equipment & BBQ with dining areas.
