"This is such a gem in the middle of suburbia. A lovely easy walk along either a concrete or gravel pathway beside the creek and wetlands swarming with waterbirds. Several bridges allow you to crisscross the creek and there are winding pathways through the bushland section.
A playground and bbq shelter are also available.
The residents around this park are very lucky!"
