β€œWOWa!!! Now THIS is the sort of park every hood should have. This place just keeps on giving 🀩 From the formed pathways, to the stormwater planning (the reason the park exists) to the greenspace, to the playground, to the book library, to the public toilet to the educational signs and spaces telling about local flora and fauna. This is a multi tiered park with many reasons to go. Local council, if you’re listening, a BBQ facility or two would transform this park to another level. πŸŒΏπŸ‘€πŸ‘‹πŸŒΏ if you like our review, please, press follow on our google profile so you can catch our next awesome reviews.
