The net hammock swing was out of action recently but rolled ip with caution tape which tells me that it has been noted and awaiting repair.

Read moreAn absolutely amazing park for kids, play ball, run around, have get togethers, picnics etc.
It has multiple play areas. One for the toddlers is fully fenced and has a sand pit as well. For older kids, there is a large web for climbing enthusiastics, a flying fox, and another structure which has a lot of things going on which is perfect for playing tag or hide and seek.
This park is quite large, has multiple car parks on the one way loop road around the park.
Lots of grassed area. And a wonderful path for cyclists, scooters, skateboarders, and just for a stroll.
There is also a Riverside walking path in this park which also has a few industrial artefacts on display. Before the park, the area used to have a Cement factory.
All in all, highly recommend a visit...
