“The park is nestled amongst beautiful cypress trees. Its got a basketball court & kids play ground on one side AND a chill bbq area where everyone can gather under a shed on the other. Between the two is a little grass area where you can kick a footy or have some fun outdoor game. It is my go to lil chill spot.”

Overview

The Avenue Playground sits among mature cypress trees, giving the site natural shade and a settled feel unusual for a suburban park. The layout separates the basketball half-court from the playground and BBQ area, with an open grass strip between them for informal games. BBQs are clean and well-maintained, and new benches and picnic tables have been added. A self-contained stop that covers multiple age groups in one visit.
