★★★★★Featured review by Yu Jin Thong

What a lovely park for kids. It has so many different sections, a big sandpit, sheltered pavilion, zipline, lots of benches and public toilets next to it. Zipline does get quite muddy though. Nice walkway takes you to a little stream

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A genuinely varied free day out — the sandpit, zipline, stream walk, and sculptures cover enough ground to hold different age groups simultaneously. Free parking accessible from three entry points keeps logistics simple. Toddler-friendly on the flat areas near the sandpit; older kids gravitate to the zipline and stream. Bring a picnic and a change of clothes for anyone who tackles the zipline on a wet day.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

⏰The zipline area can get muddy — a spare set of clothes is handy
đŸŽŸī¸Follow the paved walkway all the way to find the stream and the sculptures

“This is a nice park with a great kids playground and plenty of quiet little paths. A spacious park, trees and stream, walkways, toilet, and next to soccer field connected by a beautiful bridge, easy off-street parking for visitors, all for free. Really recommend!”

“One of the best parks in the area. Parking is free within the park. The park is accessible from 3 sides. Sculptures in the part are great to look at. The walk way is great around the part. Kids playing area is a good size and different activities to cover all age range. The Olympic ground itself is huge and one an run on the tracks if nothing is going on the ground. A great place to spend an afternoon there.”

Overview

Olympic Park spreads across a generous site accessible from three sides, with play zones anchored by a large sandpit fitted with shade covers, a zipline, and open equipment areas. Paved walkways wind through large trees to a stream with sculptures along the route. A sheltered pavilion with plenty of bench seating sits alongside public toilets and free off-street parking. The natural terrain and varied zones give children of different interests somewhere to go at once.
