Great little swimming hole hidden in the outskirts of Hobart. It’s a pain in the but to get to the actual water because you have to walk through a lot of grass to get to it. If you have beach chairs, floats, cooler and toddlers (or younger), the grass is a pain in the butt, plus a lot of holes and uneven areas.
There is not much of a Sandy BEACH. It would be so much nicer to have sand in your toes while watching the kids swim.
The water itself seemed clean and you had a lot of footage till it got deep. So toddlers and young swimmers had plenty of space to jump around close to the land.

Only recommendations would be to put sand in to create more of a “beach” and maybe a cement or bricked walking path...

The beach shallow enough for toddlers. No lifeguards. 2 porta-potty’s 3 covered picnic areas and a set of old swings. You can grill here. Fishing allowed and there’s a trail around the length of the lake with some benches scattered around. A bike trail that leads to the dunes runs thru the parking lot. Help keep it clean, pick up your trash and have fun. It’s rare to find free fun place...

The grass is a little overgrown, outdated picnic shelters, sparse childrens equipment and tons of goose poop along the shoreline. I found a condom wrapper on the sand and lots of glass in the parking lot from a car window. There are garbage cans that people dont't use and a porta-potty that reaks. Lots of green, solitude, and friendly people. Coming back another day to walk the perimeter of the lake and walk the...
