The equipment was well maintained. Plenty of shade. Toilets were clean. Plenty to do for most age ranges.
Kept clean most of the time.
The park is reasonable sized and very popular. We went on a packed out day but still found space.
Has a good amount of equipment, plenty of shade and clean ground and amenities.
The boys also found some bushland and small stream to play in.

Sydney Park is a family-friendly haven being an off-leash dog park, large playground for kids, and a café nestled in the center. It's an ideal spot for families to relax and enjoy outdoor activities together 🐶🛝🧑‍🧑‍🧒

A great park which is very well maintained and a wonderful place to walk around. It’s very dog friendly even at the cafe which has treats for dogs 🐕 but there’s not many toilets which means we had to queue for a while. This was not thought out enough when designing the park. It’s wheelchair accessible which was great for our group as we had a couple of people in wheelchairs. There’s a wonderful children play area and skateboarding area. The big lakes are really pretty and nice to walk around.
Great park for the whole family. There are restrooms here, a couple of ovals/fields around and an amazing playground. The 4 in 1 swingset was cool. There's lots of shade and a cement walk track around the park.
Nice and open. Plenty of space.

A great outdoor park with lots of facilities. Interesting and really well maintained with great views from the top of the hill. Kids can ride their bikes around the cycle centre or skate/scooter in the skate park. Dog friendly as well. Would highly recommend.

Favourite park to walk my dog. Beautiful scenery. Almost the whole area of the park allows dogs to walk off leash. (Except areas near children playground and equipment)
Awesome play area for kids. Swings are great fun for little kids. For toddlers there's some slides and climbing activities. Kids and partents both enjoy zipline. Large grass area for picnic and parties. Parking is always a challenge. Very small parking lot.
It's ok I think

Really beautiful park. Some historical features, a cafe, playgrounds and picnic areas. Great viewing spot of the city. Great for kids and dog friendly. Not super accessible by public transport. Also very few toilets, you’ll most likely be queuing for a while and bring your own toilet paper as they ran out early!
Great location and easy to find ...plenty of parking

Attended Monet in Paris, Eat Street. Prefer to stay back in Hamilton at Portside or at Kingsford Smith

Beautiful spot
Walk path closed due to land slippage. So disappointed to have not found any notice before the walk

It's one of the best parks. Family, kids, pets. You can walk around the park with different lengths accordingly. The park has different areas such as children playground, skateboard, grass oval, picnic etc.
Only parking is a bit hard to find.

Sydney Park is a very nice park, it’s seems very spacious and I liked the stepping stones and walking tracks. It is dog friendly and has a nice playground for kids and a historic brick factory area. There wasn’t many toilets.

North shore Brisbane is a newly developed area. The environment is quiet and the scenery is beautiful.
Extremely pleasant staff, great coffee, relaxing atmosphere and fabulous views

This is a really lovely space in a busy area of the city and worth visiting whether you’re after a picnic spot with friends or a quiet stroll. There’s a couple of small hills which give great views over the city scape in the distance and there’s a few wildlife areas and ponds to explore. Everywhere is well kept and tidy and with it’s large size it’s a lovely asset to the area.

I don't remember being there and I think perhaps it's time I attend some AA meetings
It wasa nice quiet place. With the food garden and the stops for fishing. You might find you can relax and enjoy a quiet beer. I worked there when the Pixar put put was on

Good grounds to walk the dog
This is a nice oval. Always mowed and maintained. Good for a walk or to kick q ball around. No facilities such as public toilets. The car park is quite messy though, always a lot of broken glass around.

It's a park
Gorgeous place! Really enjoy going here.
It's nice that something like this is made available at a popular location. The kids had some fun too ☺️

Everything was in good working condition
Played rugby here with harlequins in the mid 70s. Much the same ground as back then
Great place to go for a walk. Lovely walk out along the jetty and a great walk looking out from above the mangroves. Clean toilets and showers. Good boat ramp. Good bbq and picnic areas. Good playground PLUS. If you go at low tide you can walk out to King Island. Good parking but it does fill up quite quickly during peak periods. There is also hot and cold food available but I haven't tried it
The bicycle park is awesome! Kids had a great time and I'll be looking into the ride and road safety classes they offer.
