Willowdale Park — Attraction in Sydney

First time coming to this playground as like to take my daughter somewhere new as we usually go to Koshigaya (near the library and Campbelltown Shopping Centre) and Howard Park (near Gregory Hills Shops) as we live in Leumeah.

The playground has different activities for both young and older children with each set of activities covered with sand. There is an area with diggers to scoop up sand, tree log style balancing, a shaded sandpit area with a water pump to make sandcastles, large steps that go to to a climbing frame and down an inclosed slide with a sanded area for the landing. A large flying fox (zip-line) for two people at a time, younger child (buckle in style) older kids swing, and also a lie down style swing.

You are able to walk around and kids can ride their bikes or scooters on the path with parents being able to see their children from most sections.Get your kid/s to find the toy petrol ⛽

Opposite the shaded undercover sandpit is a toilet block of four toilets which are very clean and have plenty of toilet paper. Outside there are a few tables and chairs with BBQs and a number of water bubblers if you look around.

For the gym enthusiast there are horizontal and parallel bars before you get to the playground (yet as other reviews have stated, l too question why the bars are so far apart)?

Parking is free around the perimeter of the park/nearby streets. Nearby shopping centre with Coles and liquorland, handy for birthday parties.

The park says it's open until 4.30 yet people are still here? Also there doesn't appear to be any adequate lighting for nightime. Can someone confrim if there's a ranger that closes the park?

If your new to the area, there are streets of display homes and a retirement village. Also in the area l saw a sign saying there is going to be a new suburb called Emerald Rise with acerage style homes to be built.

Good on the local council for providing such a great playground for kids in the area. I love the nature style play which has similarities to centennial park (near Paddington...

It was nice, the park is still too be fully established; trees are young and small, grass only just layed. However, it looks like it's going to shape up into a nice relaxing park. Good for kids and adults. BBQ facilities are also available. In certain it will become a well appreciated and used facility to the neighborhood. I would personally expand the playground and plant some nice green wide-branching trees to provide a shade canopy. As far as sand pits go, I'm always a bit concerned letting my kids play in them when they're out in the open... Never know what is buried beneath... (for example broken glass, syringes etc). Although there was no sign...

We first came to willowdale when we accidentally discovered it driving through a new estate, this was years ago when It was brand new. Well I had forgotten about it until recently as it isn't that local to us, but it was a great park so I took the kids back. Good shade sails and trees have been put in which is great, everything was well maintained and kids had a blast. Love all the beach sand and play equipment for every age. What was so disappointing was the amount of litter left behind, slurpie cups, wrappers, odd socks everywhere. It was so sad to see such a beautiful park ruined by people's laziness and...
