Bales Park — Attraction in Sydney

This large park is tucked away in the suburban side streets of Chatswood. It is also an approximate and 10 minute walk from the CBD, main shopping area and station. It is close proximity to a child care facility.

It has a naturally turfed multi-purpose playing field (most common is cricket in summer and soccer in winter). There's also a decent children’s playground off on side of the oval area. The playing field area is also an off-leash dog park in the afternoons and evenings and outside of sports timings.

The playground is spacious and is also fenced with child gate access. The extensive play equipment is suitable for little ones and for the more adventurous.

Play equipment includes: swings, slides, climbing frame, spinner, scooter/trike tracks, and sandpit.There are picnic tables and seats in the playground area.

Street parking is easy on Stanley Street and...

This way I can sit in peace and enjoy my slab while the little ones run...

Great small little local park for all ages, small safe slides and swinga. Our little one loved the novelty wooden trains. Small circular track for small bikes and scooters - great for practising. A few seats and tables for small gatherings with a BBQ too. Can get a bit crowded if there is a small gathering, but overall comfortable for the little ones. A much larger field outside with a simple bike track and lots of space for play...
