A small, peaceful neighbourhood park tucked away in Avondale with a playground, large trees, and a picturesque setting. Entered via Fonteyn Road by car or on foot from Avondale Road.

★★★★★Featured review by Benedict Uy

Quite a nice park hidden in the suburbs of Avondale. There is a foot entrance on Avondale road but the only road entrance is on Fonteyn Road. The park isn't the biggest but does have quite a lot of running room around the trees and a fairly big playground. The park is really clean and quiet.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Parents praise the quiet, clean setting and call it 'very picturesque' with scenery that makes a lovely backdrop for family visits. One reviewer said their sons, who are intellectually disabled, have loved coming here for years because of the calm, welcoming atmosphere.

“My sons love how quiet this local park is, they are intellectually disabled and it's a perfect setting for them - would be great if there were two swings they could fit in but that's a minor thing. We have been coming here for years & love it.”

“This is a seriously under-utilised playground. It's small but very picturesque and would be great for families with 3-7yr olds that want to create picture-perfect memories with this scenery as the back drop.”
