A small, clean green space in central Parnell with children's swings, generous bench seating under trees, public toilets, and a peaceful vibe. Close to Parnell cafes.

It was nice place to relax and eat food. The heard park got a big Building. In the front theres a kids swings, a public toilet, heaps of seating areas and enjoy. It’s a Small park in the heart of Parnell. The park is a combination of grass and paving with lots of seating and some small trees.

β€œHeard Park is a small but lovely green space perfect for a quick break. The park is clean, with plenty of seating and a peaceful vibe. It's great for relaxing, with swings for kids and nearby cafes for a coffee stop. The illuminated Heard Park After Dark event adds a magical touch in winter. It's a nice spot to unwind in the middle of the city. It has a public toilet here.”
