Lovely fireworks and interesting festival
Park is amazing for children.even children can play with water and send and parents can cook there stuff in electrical stove which one is most free service in Australian parks
Huge park, nice place to hang out, it’s windy because nearby the bay, fresh air.
Great place for a picnic and watching the sunset. It is huge, no space problems. We rounded the lake by bike, after Elizabeth's bridge you have to cross the road to climb to another bridge, mind the cars.
Great market
Sir James Mitchell Park is a sprawling green space along the southern foreshore of Perth Water, offering stunning views of the Swan River and the city skyline.
A few equipment requires repair. The space and setup is nice. Although the play equipment design is flawed. A good space with potential overall.
A lovely park along the Swan foreshore. A few lakes full of wildlife, plenty of trees for shade, excellent cycling and walking tracks, fabulous views of the city and frequent events at the western end. What's not to like?!
Great spot for a bbq or picnic. Nice view of the city, beautiful sunset, and the swans were so cute.
The 2023 Merc event was held here. It was a great location for this event. Highly recommend.
Fresh Market every Saturday. Three small playgrounds. Dogs allowed
Beatiful park. Good view of the city. Diwali function was held there. Lots of parking availabile in the grounds which wouldn't show in the map. Often when there are functions the ground is used for parking.
The park being on the river side makes it so relaxing, calm and beautiful. I visited this Park to attend a Diwali mela 2023 🪔. This was my first time being here and I never expected it to be so awesome. At times I even forgot I was in Australia. There was a huge list of things we could explore right starting from gaming stalls , culture stage, cloth, jewelry stalls and last but not the least a huge collection of food stalls. And at the end an eye sparkling fireworks display.🎇🎆
No words to explain the park nor the event. Totally mind blowing.
There are parking lots spread on sidewalk of the park.
Overall experience Superb 🥳🫶

Had our end of season awards here, good facilities
The most wonderful of ways to reach a beach on foot. Drop down from Bronte road into the gully at various places, but the best is at its top before Bronte House where a waterfall serenades in the bush and the birds call in return. The trees are magnificent. Easy walk down the gully to the beach.
Kid loves the fire truck, wish it was busier during the week.
A green watery rock oasis in the city. Sydney has a few of these natural wonders. Peace and tranquilly doesn't come from an internet site it originates from places like this. Switch off the computer, pack your bags and venture down for your own private rainforest only a few know for a few moments.
Great place to grab some grass and spread a picnic blanket, while watching the warm evening colours draw toward the sunset.
Beautiful park overlooking the city skyline. Huge open space, ideal for picnics and games with the family. The only thing that lets it down are the usual cyclists speeding through there without a care about anyone else and the ignorant dog owners that don't keep their dogs on leads.
Don't park there, no cameras in parking and someone is scratching the cars.
So, it is not a safe place.

Love to have walking session in this park (we walked here at night after dinner and evening i walked alone (feel safe) - with my music on and thoughts running around my head 😅). I see a lot people there walking / jogging / with kids / with dogs.
Lovely spot to park and walk, plenty of playgrounds along the south Perth side of the river. And so much bird life along the river and rivers edge.
My lil guy absolutely loves this park. He uses the play equipment & runs around the play ground. I esp love how much shade it has plus space for them to roam
Beautiful park and scenery...you can also see the ferry and awesome BBQ area
It's nice big oval about five minutes away from the Perth airport the plains fly right over the oval
Good park,m with lot of space to play for kids and has community centre too, so you can have parties up to 50 people easily.
Very nice views of the city from this park. The skyline 🏙️ if beautiful even more at sunset 🌇.
You can walk and stay relaxed in the grass.

Perk park is bike ride bliss! You'll cruise along a rad path that connects must-see spots, with sweet views of Swan River and the city. Plus, directions are a breeze, and renting an e-scooter is a must for exploring more. Prepare for a refreshing breeze that'll keep you feeling fine.
Nice park had a market and many play areas for children.
Beautiful natural track, a lot of birds 🐦 🐦⬛ live here, surprising to to see 👀 such natural bushland at Bronte
My kids had a game of soccer here. The astro turf pitch was good but the normal field needs some TLC. Paid parking is nearby
Absolutely stunning spot in South East Sydney not far from Bondi or Prince Of Wales Hospital in Randwick. Great spot to take the kids to enjoy the sun and a swim if you're brave enough to try the water in winter. There's an ice cream van there most days with delicious, creamy soft serve ice cream too.
Great local park within yhe Suburb of North Perth. Decent size for exercise and walking the dog. Weekend fresh growers markets here sometimes in summer.
A brillant Perth backdrop for an event in this great city
High rise city one size ..River the other
It's great to support the City of Perth and attend the First Caravan and camping leisure show at this well manicured spot

Lovely shaded area, awesome for older children.
Sunny Park with options of sitting on grass or at covered tables. Good view of Parramatta River and Silverwater Bridge. Grabbed a coffee at nearby Commons Cafe. Council maintains lawns and keeps the park clean.
The park is walking distance from the hotel where we stayed (Novotel). Great place for a morning walk with jogging path along the borders of the Swan river that extends all the way to Elizabeth Quay. Great place to catch the morning breeze and the sunrise reflected off the buildings across the river.
Really nice park with lots of wonderfu equipment for kids, and awesome farmers markets here
My son's eyes light up as soon as he sees that fire truck. Apart from the afternoon sun, he was super happy..
Good for young kids. No shade though.
If you like running or just walking stairs, this is the place. I still remember my first time I was introduced to these stairs in 1977, I was only 13yrs old. Looking up from the bottom you think you see the top, only to begin your climb & quickly realise you're barley half way lol lol lol.
Over the years I keep coming back, for just the sheer enjoyment of the view as well the exercise.

A really fun park, lots of great play areas for kids. Great to see it so well used even on a weekday
It’s a lovely little spot for watching the change of light. The eels were a surprise, a local pointed them out to me, wondering whether they had come down from Centennial Park.
Amazing place to take young kids to see the aeroplanes landing on the ‘diagonal’ runway! There’s two playgrounds as well as plenty of shade and a drink fountain. Good parking very close by too.
Hidden gem; awesome place for the best views of the river with nice play area for the kids; a must stop during my weekend cycling route
An amazing park that is professionally managed by experts who have studies and researched the area. There is so much consideration given to the wildlife in the area and to preserving the natural water way and landscape. There is extraordinarily nice pathways that accommodate for bikes and walkers. There is ample information boards scattered around the park informing visitors about the unique bird life and explains what attracts these birds from all around the world to visit this location.
Bird life is therapeutic to watch, it’s peaceful, quiet and the birds look healthy.
Thank you to all the volunteers that help maintain this park and also thank you to anyone who helps financially keep this park in pristine condition.

Two Pokemon Go stops and a gym, with several more stops not far away.
The farmer's market on Saturdays is great too!

Really nice play grounds facilities for the children and BBQ facilities as well 😀 the outdoor gym facilities are not very well maintained and limited options, would be great if they (council) upgrade the outdoor gym facilities and maintained it ongoing regular basis. Overall a nice great playground. Another suggestion would be to add a community driven garden patch around the bush area in this awesome playground 👍🙏🌻🎉🙂
Great view from the top! Stairs are a great workout but can be very crowded with many people huffing and sweating, pushing past
The South Coogee Stairs are very popular with fitness fanatics from all over Sydney. They are steep and all different sizes and there are so many of them, it makes for a great workout. They are definitely not for the faint hearted. They are also located next to residential homes so be mindful of noise. The best part is most definitely the beautiful ocean view.
An amazing oasis in the middle of the city. Bronte Gully comes straight up from Bronte Beach and it really is like you are lost in a hidden paradise. Almost rainforest the gully hides you away from it all. A nice creek runs down through the middle. Shady places to escape the hustle. Waverly Council do an amazing job of maintaining and enhancing this beautiful spot. You have to visit.
Great little pocket park! Beautifully landscaped and serenely laid out. Sit there to relax and reflect, and if you have children, there's a decent sized playground for them to play on.
I booked a picnic at 10 pm to surprise my partner near Parramatta River. Luxury.picnic.events did a great job last minute for thissurprise picnic. Thank you . Please give them a follow on Instagram and Facebook. #luxury.picnic.events
Nice little walk in the shade with the refreshing stream and the "creek". End the walk at Bronte park
Wide open lawn spaces and different sets of play equipment to suit different aged children. Popular for dog walking. Car parking is available on all sides of the main park.
The park is nestled in alongside Kyilla Primary School and shares some play equipment with them.

Excellent park. Take your kids there...
Good for littlies. Not fenced and wet play area not turned on but kids of all ages enjoy it
Gorgeous walk for early morning people and people interested in exercise outdoors.
Just need to be carefull at the parking lot rangers visit regularly. Pay attention to meter times.
In the evenings heavy smell comes from nearby plants

Stairs and a path that lead to Heaven on Earth for me and anyone blessed to discover it. Thank you.
Lovely open space with a variety of play equipment, BBQ and a farmer's market on Saturdays
good place for walking your dog, theres a waterfall // river and its cool for dogs would recommend its really pretty love it
Large multiuse ovals, water facilities, shady trees that seem almost historical (I, know a lot of the trees are over 30years old because my dogs cat children and myself have had picnics, ball games and rests under them over the last 25 years. Accessible by the cycle path adjacent to but fenced off from Tonkin hwy and the airport.
No shades installed on the playground. Kids don't play there during high sun (11am - 4pm)
A largish Riverside park, with large open grass area and interesting play area. The nearby roads dominate the audio environment and the trees seem bland. The connection to the river is also not as strong as other nearby parks in the Olympic zone.
Great new park. Just needed a bit more shade
A beautiful place....even a touch of Caspar D Friedrich this twilight....mmm
It is a very nice park to go with kids, not too big. However there is no toilets and the park is not fenced which is a bit scary considering the rode is close. Just be aware, that is all :)
Quaint park during the weekday. Small BBQ and sheltered area available. Connected to Blaxland Riverside Park, only by a short stroll. Bike hiring option available once there.
Was here to volunteer for an event, really nice park with some good views!
Should definitely check out

Football turf is awesome! Amenities could be better as I didn't find drinking water tap anywhere!!
Nice big grassy oval. A few bins around the outside and a community centre between car parks. Cricket pitch in the middle. Drink fountain near building with good sized kids play ground.
A great chance to do it like a local!
Not for the faint hearted, lazy or those with wimpy whinging kids.
Walk up stairs get sweaty, run up stairs get really sweaty. Great coastal walk at the bottom.
