Shared a booth outside which was nice and cosy for 3 people. Good food and great service. It was a little cold but before we could ask the heaters came on and it was beautiful !! Did not want to leave. Be back for sure !!
Probably the best playground we‘ve ever been! So many different options and all brandnew and in great condition!
Lovely spot to spend some time outdoors. Great for kids of all ages. Recommended. Also recommend Splash Coffee. Great food and coffee range.
We had a wonderful afternoon with friends at the park. We had a picnic and tried to BBQ but we weren't able to because the cooking area was faulty. Luckily we managed to cook at the BBQ of the aquatic centre. All good.
Kids love it ...
Keep your eye out for strangers though

The nephew loves it. The waterplay area, flying fox, and giant slide are his favourite bits.
Great park with play equipment including a huge water playground for toddlers to young kids to enjoy, it's a wonderful place especially on a hot day.
Theres also a big climbing tree, slides and swings. There is a cafe selling hot foods and a public toilet. What would be great is more shaded areas.
Bring sun screen, hats and a change of clothes and a towel, and make sure you keep a close eye on young children as the water can get deep at parts and some of the features can hurt small hands.

DQ has plenty of great restaurants and spaces to sit and relax. Such a beautiful space yet so close to the CBD. They also hold plenty of events throughout the year - the open air cinema in January is fantastic for all ages - and free! Plenty of good facilities for the kids too! Definitely a must visit for locals and tourists alike.
Great park for kids, has an area suitable for toddlers & young children & a decent climbing frame for older kids. Loads of space to run around & open enough that you can see the children without having to follow them around.
Also located next to the swimming pool & newly opened Splash cafe, so great for coffee & treats!

It's the place to take children on a sunny day.
There arecso many things for children to enjoy.
Swings, slides, a wonky roundabout, climbing nets, a water fun park, and the water tunnel outside on the parade.

One of the best, if not the best, playground of Sydney.
Good playground with equipment suitable for a big age range,
Grass field which can be used to play with a ball when not already in use. Feels quite secluded despite being close to main roads. The kiosk/ cafe at the pool seems to be reopening soon

Great place for the whole family!
Centrally locates in Darling Harbour - Tumbalong Park close to CBD lots of eateries, malls, the very popular ICC (International Convention Centre) the ever popular holding lots of events from overseas and locally highly commendable to visit all year round 🥰🥳😉
Awesome place in the heart of the city centre.
Modern architecture and many events happening around.
Restaurants and pubs walking distance.

It's a meeting place for people and is central. Pity now it's been overdveloped on all sides with tall buildings. But its still a nice place to go to.
Amazing community park for kids and families! Good foods clean!
The atmosphere is so nice, beautiful lights at night. It's great for taking photos.
We had dessert, shaved ice with mango and strawberries. It was very delicious! Would definitely go again.

nice big, spacious, family and kid friendly park/playground nestled in the heart of the Sydney City CBD.
Lots of great food options, dining space and picnic spots around the park, surrounded by fast food options and more fancy restaurants and cafes.
Tumbalong Park is equipped with a huge playground with a water fountain and splash park directly next door with sheltered seating, public toilets every couple hundred metres, and a very accessible public pedestrian access all around with multiple public transport facilities like the light rail and trains, being a 5-10 minute walk away.
Overall Tumbalong Park is an incredibly popular, accessible and loaded with many different attractions and activities, for individuals and family.

Great little place for the kids. Lots of activities! If in Darling Harbour with the little ones. Definitely have to come here!
perfect little oasis: green space, water play area, shaded playground. convenience needs nearby.
Even on a cold rainy day my kids had fun here. The interactive waterworks were great fun, got them working as a team and added some great exercise in.
The park is fairy large and can get busy but there is quite a lot of grassy area here so there is qutie a bit of space, even if it was busy. There are some trees around the park particularly on the playground end. There were also benches which didn't have any cover. The other end of the park leads to the Chinese Garden of Friendship and there are more trees here as well as a fountain which you can play in.
A gem of a park with a key place in cricket history. Contains a nice playground, lovely pool and oval. Skip the cafe at the playground and go to The Pig&Pastry adjoining the park for proper food and drink.
Okay, cricket history, you ready? Petersham oval is where Don Bradman scored his first century in grade cricket (St. George vs Randwick/Petersham). It also has a mural commemorating Molly Flaherty, the first female fast bowler in test cricket.
It also has a lovely historic gazebo. And check out the street library, two, actually!
And, as of that weren't enough to make you enjoy this gem of a park, read the signage about dogs. It's fabulous.
It's truly hard to believe this park is one block from Parramatta Rd, it feels like you're somewhere completely apart from the city.

A playground suitable for all ages. There’s water and sensory play. Slides for toddlers, bigger kids and zip lines. It’s accessible by public transport or by car you can park for $20 all day. Lots of eateries near by and of course the infamous Harry cafe de wheels! My favourite place to eat delicious pies and hot dogs! On weekends, the park draws in children and it can be extremely busy. There’s enough space for everyone to move around and take turns on the play equipment. The only let down is that being a very busy public space, there should be signs of contact numbers to call or rangers nearby to provide assistance to any injured children.
Such an amazing place to be, had been exploring around the area with family. Seen a lot of parents and kids tourist and holiday maker. Great features and view also restaurants.
Great park. Great coffee shop and swimming pool. Great playground for kids and green area to chill. Parking is not available, u might have to find parking around on the street nearby more good coffe shops.
Enjoyed the relaxing venue and surrounding area at Darling Harbour. Plenty of seating, live entertainment, table tennis, restaurants, relaxing scenery close to the harbour and even closer to the swimming precinct for ankle high paddlers, large grass areas, also convention and Sydney entertainment centres located close by especially the Convention Centre. The light rail services the area.
After 20+ hours in the air we landed and arrived to our hotel. They recommend we head to the Darling Quarter for food and a place for the kids to “be kids”. The play area here is awesome. The water feature stood out with it gates, dams, pumps and more all controlled by kids. Slides that used a “hill” instead of a ladder. A zip line and slack rope are also here. After an hour of play we ate and went on our way. The next we returned and the kids once again had a great time.
Nice clean park with a generally medium crowd. There's a cricket area, pool (opposite the park with a small cafe). Overall it's a pretty good area for dogs & the general public of families. There is also BBQ's.
Nice place to relax and eat! Was busy 😁everyone enjoying it there for fun, friends and flavour.

Beautiful park for a walk. Upon entering the gate on Brighton St I was greeted in a friendly manner by an older gentleman walking his adorable dog. Heaps of people with their pets can be found here. The plaque on the entrance tells me it opened in 1887, so I felt the historic vibe. Tall well manicured trees greeted me with their shade in a uniform row along both sides of the footpath. Another plaque informs you this is where THE Donald Bradman scored his first century in cricket across the way in the well maintained sports oval.
There’s also the aquatic centre where people were coming for early morning laps in the pool. It’s named after Fanny Durack, Sydney’s first Olympic Gold Medalist in swimming. Across from that is a playground for the kids. All along the perimeter of the park are gorgeous old trees with opulent trunks - very picturesque. A lovely inner city park for walking and recreation!
