Very neat water hole for the kids(and dog) over summer. Even better with the high rise train track next to it that my son loves!

Great experience for kids to see the water coming up from the ground, touch the bubbles in the sand with their feet. Freezing cold water, mid-thigh hight.

Beautiful setting could do with more picnic tables in sheltered spots as could get only find two. Lots of bird chatter and stream flowing through behind a fun park with flying fox.

The playground really needs attention and a good clean up 😭 it's not the same as it was years ago. But with a bit of love I can imagine it coming back strong. As for the springs, it's always lovely there and walking around the park (: …

A peaceful escape from the city, watercress grows all along the river and the water looks fresh and swimmable

An open secret, this place is very cool. It has the feel of seclusion yet it is quite public and open. The fresh water spring is impressive! Our dog loves the place as it offers more than just a park setting but bushes, marsh land, paths, and dips and dents in the area that is fun to walk on! A rubbish bin on either side of the park would be handy.

Is a really good, clean park to take the kids. Not too big but has a flying fox. No toilets though

A fantastic kids playground with unique equipment. Also, the detail in the construction of the bridges shows that whoever made them, put a lot of thought and work into them.
