The council has done an amazing job for this place to be the people's place. Lifeguard in the swimming area, paddle boats hire, plenty of covered areas for families to have picnic and bbq. Amenities are clean and tap water is also available throughout the park etc etc.. I've managed to provide and taught a few kids within our group to learn to paddle boarding safely and kids enjoyed the experience. Sitting, kneeling, standing all within an hour safely. My suggestion is, it'll be wonderful if the council builds a launching pad to have boards and boats launching areas. There was a launching spot for experienced boaters(rowers) but not for beginner-intermediate paddle boarding/canoeing yet. A small shallow flat ramp will provide safety and comfort for kids and families to enjoy the water activities in this wonderful lake. Thank you to the council for all the great work done...
