"A nice family friendly area for walks, sightseeing, pelican watching, fishing, boating, picnic, sun baking, dining, entertainment, etc.
And it’s free!!!

LIMUEL SWANSON
"The council have done a wonderful job creating this space for locals and tourists alike. During school holidays there is a fully operating carnival including Ferris wheel for the kids. Every day they have the pelican feeding around 3:30 pm. The main stage can host live music as well as movie nights. This really is a shining example of what a local council can do for a community, and it needs to happen more elsewhere."
