Breath taking views and luxurious walk, one must go and take a walk. Very beautiful gardens alongside river
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.

It's a nice park and very clean, but most people walk their dogs off-leash in unauthorized areas and when it gets dark, no one picks up the poop, there are no rangers around, at all. It is also a place where birds and bats are abundant. If you are going to park your car nearby in the evening, do not park under very large trees. Birds and bats may defecate on them, so be careful.
It is a lovely park close to Watson's bay Area.
What can I say!
Come and visit! By bus from the city/Bondi or ferry from Circular Quay/Rose Bay.

Decent park, but not the best for playing soccer, as the grass is not very even and smooth and dogs go on the fields.
Not to the standard expected for parliament gardens, weedy uncut grass. Hedges well overdue for trimming. Painted pallet seating! A collection of wheely bins. Broken glass all through the car park.
So much missed opportunity to make this garden compliment the beautiful building .
Shocking that this makes the top 5 list of gardens to visit in Hobart , reluctant to bother looking at any others .

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.

Great park conditions. Lively place. Maintained well. Tennis courts are in not bad condition. I got in for free*
Nice place to rest n relax, this time of the year, watching the crowds exploring our waterfront or having a picnic or just laying on the lawn soaking up the ☀

In essence, Robertson Park offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and accessibility, providing a picturesque escape for individuals and families seeking a tranquil spot by the harbor without compromising on ease of arrival and departure.

lovely place and beatiful garden
Quite picturesque garden, though very small.
Bring your tent, sheets, and bbq, and this can turn into a good picnic spot.
Take the ferry - I'd recommend to save any hassle with parking or long walks. You would be rewarded by good views on the way..
Always busy on weekends..

Great place for a picnic! It's nice and clean.
"Recently took a walk from Dee Why Beach to Long Reef Beach, and it was an incredible experience! The scenic views along the way were breathtaking, making the entire journey both refreshing and memorable. The combination of the beach atmosphere and the coastal walk created a perfect blend for a great outdoor adventure. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a picturesque and invigorating stroll!
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.
Beautiful park. If you have time, take a ferry and visit this area. Very nice and peaceful. We took the ferry, had lunch at one of the restaurants by the port and took a nap at the park. We were there in September and the weather was beautiful. A little break from the city.
Beautiful garden in the centre of the city. Just go there for a walk.. sit peaceful n enjoy nature. If you want to read a book n sleep for some time this is ideal.. not much crowded.. don’t throw any waste as it very well maintained. No need to carry water as the the public drinking water facility here is so clean n i drank litres of water here. Didn’t do any harm.. visit when you are free to spend few hrs..
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.

good spacious park, off leash dog park with lots of grass, shade and a playground
Quite crowded. Animals are not afraid of humans, so respect them as well. They will let you take photos quietly!
Great place to watch live music on Saturdays when Salamanca markets are running. Nice open space to eat lunch and relax before heading off to any part of the CBD.
A nice tranquil gardens with beautiful old oak trees, wooden benches and relaxing views
Turwul Park offers a refreshing escape with its well-maintained green spaces and recreational areas. The pathways are ideal for a leisurely stroll or morning jog, and the open spaces are great for families and gatherings. While the park provides a peaceful ambiance, adding a few more amenities or enhancing the existing ones could elevate the overall experience for visitors. All in all, it's a lovely spot to unwind and enjoy the outdoors, with some potential for enhancement.
Schöner gepflegter Park mit einem großem Spielplatz. Dieser hat ein Sonnensegel für Schatten.
Es gibt öffentliche WC’s die Verhältnismäßig sauber sind, Klopapier und Seife vorhanden.
Oben (gegenüber der Fähre am Ende des Parkes) gibt es eine Bushaltestelle.

perfect little oasis: green space, water play area, shaded playground. convenience needs nearby.
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.
Pleasant expanse of green, right next to the water. Enjoy a picnic!
🍭 Small, fenced-in playground
⛴️ Adjoining the Watsons Bay ferry stop
🚻 Toilets up the back, next to the gazebo
❗ Don't miss heading out the back and having a peek at The Gap! Some of the best views in Sydney!

At Alexandra Gardens for Moomba festival. Hadn't been to Moomba for years and years but wandered around for an hour, checking out rides, food offerings and side-show Alley games. Had coffee (decaf soy latte) and 2 hot jam donuts from Dough Truck, tried from 2 different sellers, lucky tickets (both unlucky) and again tried luck on laughing clowns. They have beaten me since childhood, today was no different. There were so many rides for kids, teenagers and kidults and heaps of different food offerings (tacos, Greek, crepes, fish and chips, dumplings, ice creams etc) and many games of skill (shoot basketball, knock down milk bottles, pick up floating ducks etc) and games of chance (lucky tickets). Was packed but not too overwhelming. Take kids and lots of cash. Great location.
This park is at Watson Bay, right next to the ferry terminal. Huge patch of grass, and great for dogs to be roaming around or a simple picnic. There are quite a few restaurants around here, but do be careful of the seagulls, especially if you have food on you. Beyond it all, this is a great place to just chill and not worry about life too much.
Very greenery place to sit and lay down. Salamanca market is just around.
A nice quiet park, not many people around. Didn't see any toilets though.
Used to walk my two boys from Fisher St to Stanmore Public School in the mid 90s. They always had a play here. Such places are holy ground, where one could meditate on Christ or eat a Paddle Pop. Erskinville Kings led me back here. In 2018 my son took me to walk the causeway at Crammond, in Edinburgh. I later learned my great great grandparents lived in Crammond in the early 1800s. Circles....
Lovely spot with good sized park and large shady trees. The bay water is calm so a great spot for swimming. Limited street parking is available but can be tricky. The Watsons Bay Hotel has great take away options to enjoy in the park including outstanding fish and chips and fish burgers. Public toilets are available in the park
It’s really nice and peaceful here the grass is all neat and the footpath is clean
Good climbing trees for kids. This photo of play equipment is old. New set there now. Tiny triangle shaped park near to coffee shop and station.
Good small park with benches to sit and relax.
A place to get away from the hustle & bustle of the Melbourne CBD. Situated just across the river on the picturesque Princes Bridge this park is a haven of peace. You can walk, cycle, run or chill out by the river. There are some beautiful mature trees & well kept gardens where it's hard to believe you are in the centre of a large city.
Good👍
Turruwul park is a big park with complete facilities for all age. It has playground for smaller kids and bigger kids (spider web climb and swing). On the other corner, it has gym equipment for adults. The middle part has sport field.
There are toilet facilities and water sprinkler.

A small but very nice park and a weekly market makes this a nice location for a visit and a coffee.
The park is opposite Margaret restaurant expensive but great sit in the park before or after a delicious food
Great venue for a street market.
They have the best food and drinks and friendly people to talk to even those they are new to my sister and I we where very impress with their plating of food 10/10.
Nice gardens with a few Tasman fountains and statues! A great resting place when the Salamanca market is on. Some decent views over the harbour area, and definitely a point of interest when in Hobart! Parliament House on one side and the Sullivan’s Bay boat docks on the other. Plenty of seating, and a lovely place for a picnic of break.
Great family friendly park located nearby to bunnerong rd Matraville
Lovely little park with some great landscaping and what looks like a fantastic playground. Also a bubbler with inbuilt dog bowl is always appreciated. Slight industrial odour from the factories next door detract slightly from the ambience.
Terrific place for small kids to cycle and ride skooters
Nice open area. Shade in play area for children & chairs to sit
Parking inspectors ruin the relaxed shopping and dining experience. The park needs more seating and shaded areas. The Thursday growers market is a highlight
Nice family oriented park. A few steep hills great for running. Dosent appear to have a cafe. Probably a good thing.
Good place for meditation on Christ. Everything is good to know that I'm Loving my Lord.
What an amazing park. I didn't even realise it was there until we went for a walk after leaving the Salamanca markets. A scene of multicultural education and music.
Nice little park for 0-4 years old, has walking tracks , tennis court, outdoor gym football ground and a basketball ground, it’s nice that the restroom are available.
An excellent very safe fully renovated apartment block very cheap close to transport including ferry & shopping. A very affluent highly respected place to live.
Great local park. Basketball court is half court. Good wall to practice tennis or soccer. Good path for young bikes. Nice varied play area. Toilets are ok.
Very dark and scary around evening and lots of mysterious looking people lurking around. Doesnt even have a public toilet for the onky park nearby the station.
Smallish and near busy roads no bathrooms
Great outdoor playground, no shelter but plenty of shade from the trees. This means some part of the playground is quite dirty. Some picnic tables around and well maintained tennis courts.
Great dog space and the playground entertains the kids. Could upgrade a bit
