Review:
I love modern parks! I always applaud councils and community groups for making the effort to provide these for our kids. This park is no exception, being recently renovated and modernised. Its a fairly popular park particularly on weekends due to its location at the ever popular Belmore Basin area. Lighthouse only a short stroll, Wollongong Fishmarkets not far as well as Wollongong Beach. I am not sure how popular a park it will be with my son as he gets older though. Seems mostly designed for younger children and wouldn't think it could be classified as an all abilities playground. However it was popular with Mums. Quite a few were there the day we visited, probably due to the cafe nearby where they could grab a coffee. The water is only meters from the playground and would be a bonus to some as there is no waves or long walks through the dunes to get there. However, as I said above parking would be at a premium. All up a nice park with the added bonus of having toilets close but not a firm favourite for me.
The parking issues is a turn off in my books.
