★★★★★Featured review by Rachel Lee

Gorgeous place to discover near my AirBNB. So glad to have found this; it is so calm and serene. goes all the way down to opposite Hansen Park. beautiful reflections on the water. calm and serene ambience, lovely to enjoy a quiet moment as the sun goes down.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for a calm walk with younger kids in a pram or older kids happy with a stroll — this is more reserve than active playground. Pairs well with a longer outing through to Hansen Park.
