Neil Hawkins Park in Joondalup, is located beside Lake Joondalup, and part of the Yellagonga Regional Park. The park was named for Neil Campbell Hawkins CBE JP, a chairman of the former Metropolitan Regional Planning Authority.

The park includes a jetty which is great for viewing the wildlife on the lake - ducks, swans, turtles etc. There many shady trees on the vast lawn area for picnicking or kicking a ball.

The playground is partially enclosed, quite compact and easy to keep track of little ones.
