Rockdale Park — Attraction in Sydney

This is such a refreshing park to come to. For any kind of day: hot, cold, rainy, overcast, or muggy.

People come here, but not too many. It's got space for quiet contemplation in the shade of spreading green foliage, there are delightfully snaking paths, a small engineered creek and pond with a bridge (fascinating for kids), and a perfect playground (especially for younger children).

I particularly recommend the paved paths and swathes of lawn for learning to cycle.

This is a much more dog friendly park than the one on the other side of the PCYC with the synthetic fields and giant slides. This is particularly the case, given the no dogs signs at that other park in contrast to this park. That being said, there aren't too many dogs here and I did not see any dog poo waiting for collection either.

The park is so spacious that it effortlessly accommodates many...

Still alot of space they could have utilised better. Even an area targeting younger kids that are crawling so its safer for them. It scares me to let them crawl around especially when busy because they will get trampled by the older kids. They really should be tried to separate the areas or zone then according to age. Besides that all that money and time on the renovations they could have atleast made the pathways wider enough for myself with a double pram for my twins and then for another person to be able to wall past. Instead of me having to manoeuvre my pram onto the grass to make space for someone else. And yes, a lot of people don't move just because I'm pushing a double pram. Also would have be great to add in some bins for rubbish. There is no bins along the pathways anywhere except for in the kids playground...

Beautiful park to relax in.I've had some great memories in here.When i was younger there used to be water flowing down the artificial river and it would be so fun to go along and jump on the rocks that are scattered down the little river up to the end where the lake and the little shack is. this is an excellent place to do photography and you will notice that a lot of wedding photography gets done here.There is a little gazebo in the middle to hang out in as well if you need shelter.Foliage is mainly a shade of green which helps for the bridge to stick out like a sore thumb.There is a small playground which is fenced on the bryant street side.Perfect park to play hide...
