    Great place for a walk, with or without the kids. Very nice gardens.

    Great place to walk around freely with your dog. The kids like the play ground.

    Folk use the words 'hidden gem' alot on google review (yeah, I know I'm one 🙄 ) so I would describe this place as a..um... concealed jewel!😋♦️ Plenty of grass to frolic on, a scout Hall, playground, and, best of all, free tennis courts (with a practice wall!) Access on foot under the Kennedy Good bridge from Belmont School, or via Norfolk St in Belmont West.

    A bit early for some of the rhododendrons, and some are past their best, but this garden Dell is a hidden gem and well worth a visit any time, but this month in particular.

    This is a great place to walk in the Bush and includes a small lake. Suitable for families as it is quite easy walking for little ones.

    Another useful park but with a poor car access from State Highway 2. The park itself is excellent with good dog walking areas.
