Small little gem. Has a good walking track but is very short. A basic playground for kids. Some nice little areas to explore

Lovely hidden gem. This park has paths crossing over the stream, and twisting through the trees. There ate plenty of spots for a picnic, or places for the kids to play. The playground is great too

Lovely playground for the kids, though unfortunately not much shade over the actual playground area. But it has a nice area for family picnic and nice walk ways too. Even has a duck 🦆 hahaha …

This is a hidden gem. Only locals seem to go to this park. The highlight in the park is actually the lack of ducks which seem to pollute the streams. This means that longfin eels can be seen in the stream. The park has plenty of quiet areas which can be used to make convos with friends

Beautiful park.. there's a rose garden at the entrance. It opens up to a decent playground. The real treat is that there's a stunning walking path that crosses over a stream in several places. It all loops back to the main entrance. The path has informative signage along the way. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Beautiful little park with a small playground for children, and stream and bush for off lead play for dogs, as well as grassy areas for picnics and kicking balls around. Small but perfectly formed.
