John Wearn Reserve — Attraction in Sydney

Fantastic park. There are parking spots on the side street but also a small car park near the top gate. The park has a large slide, poles and ropes to climb, swings, a bamboo tunnel to explore, rope spiderweb and, uniquely, lots of animal statues to explore such as a zebra, lion, giraffe, elephant and monkey. They occasionally make sounds so warn your kids if they frighten easily. The park has modern toilets nearby and also an undercover barbecue area. Further down the hill is a path down to a basketball court with some concrete seating available.

Great facilities at this park! It has something for everyone, a playground or scootering for the younger kids, a basketball court with a rebound wall good for tennis, also skateboard pipe for the older kids and grown ups. Good amount of undercover bbq and picnic areas, all well maintained. Designated parking area (not a lot of spaces) or just street parking. Only reason for a star off, if you go when it's busy it can be a little chaotic around the basketball court, you'll be competing for space with kids playing basketball, hitting tennis balls, playing handball, soccer, roller blading,...
