So many fun things to do at the park now. Partly sheltered with a sunshade. Skate park and water play area. Large climbing frame and slide. The larger park area contains walking tracks, gym stations and disc golf. There is also a basketball court for hours of fun.

A beautiful park to visit and wander. Highly recommended for families, single and couples alike. The downside is that when I visited, some people are playing freebie and they were a bit annoying.
