“A beautiful park with plenty of green space and clean walking tracks. Perfect spot for a morning walk or a family picnic. The playground area is well-maintained, and there’s lots of shade to sit and relax. Highly recommend visiting!”

“It’s a nice big Reserve with a kids playground. The playground is little bit high for kids. But still fun. Nice long Flying-fox. It was very fun on the flying-fox. Some seats there to sit. No Public Toilet here. There are lots of trees and some bush in the Reserve. Well maintain.”
