★★★★★Featured review by Samantha Coombes

Great park for kids, splash pad, basketball court, volleyball court, toilets, picnic areas, playground with sandpit, and bike track all close together and so much fun! We took our toddler there and had an absolute blast. Highly recommend and we will certainly be back.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

The layout here does the work — the splash pad, skate park and playground sit close enough that one adult can supervise children across multiple zones from the central picnic area. The splash pad makes it a summer staple for families with toddlers through to primary-age children. The skate and BMX park draws older kids and teenagers.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring a change of clothes for children using the splash pad — it runs a full soaking circuit.
The sandpit playground deposits sand in shoes and bags — pack accordingly.
🎟️Access via the Waterview Greenway shared path for a car-free family cycle ride to the reserve.

We love coming here. Great place to spend a few hours on the playground, sand pit and water feature but let's not forget the cool skaters, scooters and bike park as well as shooting some hoops! It's all here in one big package!!👌👍
