🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for active school-age children who love climbing and exploring — the treehouse and flying fox are the standout drawcards. Younger children are also well-served with age-appropriate equipment throughout. Families driving in should factor in paid parking, which replaced free access recently.

“This is probably THE best playground in whole of Sydney and that's no lie. It has a flying fox, swings, tunnels, long slides, climbing ropes and more. The kids always have a fun time here and it's hard to drag them away when time to leave. Grab a gas BBQ and make an afternoon of it. There is heaps here for the kids to keep them occupied. Parking is available in two areas - down towards the water, and on the hill near the entrance. This park gets super busy so best times to avoid the crowds is either early in the morning on weekends, or during a weekday.”

“A definitive playground experience. This is how a playground should be built. Great variety of slides, ramps, climbing equipment and places to explore. Particularly enjoy scaling up the tree house. Visit on weekdays to avoid the crowds.”
