★★★★★Featured review by Alex Tjahjana

A lovely park about halfway through the Chalmers Street. Parking can be challenging as competing with the residents as well as on a sloped road. The park is nice and tidy, with a bicycle lane going through the park and along the train tracks; the bicycle lane connects the lane coming from the Avondale station to the St Georges Road. Although the reserve is no longer have barbeque hobs, it is now have a playground.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Reviewers note the park is tidy and pleasant, with children enjoying the playground and the open grass. Its position on the NL2A cycle path makes it a natural stop for families out for a ride.
