Nice and clean place for families.
Great park for kids, BBQ area. Definitely worth the time with family. Also has public toilets 🚻
It's a nice clean place, kids are always playing in the play ground. BBQ areas, park benches placed all around. Nice big shade trees. Lots of cafes, restaurants and novelty shops. A few pubs, the cinemas and even a woolies nice and close.
How good is this playground!! Suitable from babies to older kids!! Simi enclosed with picnic areas, water fountain, beautiful foreshore walking paths etc all next to it. Toilets nearby too. Beautiful!
Great place to see dolphins playing
Lovely playground for children with good amenities.
It's a big playground, and was beautifully decorated from 22nd Dec to 7th Jan. It was a long walk to it's east end but with colourful lights on the way.
Pretty good fishing place. It would be highly recommended to take some anti-mosquito spray and some good flash lights. It's a very lively waterway with heaps of fish. Most common for me were snappers and bait fish.
Light trail was amazing!
Whole family can Toot-toot train tour around the city.
Shops offer good food. Beautiful location for picnic and sun-set. Booked dolphin cruise, loved watching Dolphins so close to us. Kids loved it. Beach is kids friendly.
It's a must-see place when you visit Brisbane.
It is quite nice to admire at night, too.
Take your time to check the local animal residents as well.

Went down to Narrabeen to take some photos.Great Place to take the family
Great atmosphere, perfect for families.
Safe ,shady fun space for kids .Our grandkids had a great time exploring the surroundings . The barbecues and gazebos were well utilized .Would have given 5 stars but the toilets were NOT nice .
Nice beach. Less crowded. Straight across from the shops.
Really like this leafy, shady playground for the kids, with lots of little pergolas to sit under.
4 stars as the toilets can sometimes be scary but mostly good!
Good place for families and birthday's. Can bring your food or enjoy barbie at the foreshore. Scenic view of apartments and boats makes it special. There are too many flies in summer and haven't seen any arrangements by management to stop them. So it is recommended to go either early morning in summer or don't go😁 thats my personal advise. We did celebrate birthday of my kids there but flies ruined it off so took picture of cake and packed up so no pictures of view, maybe will go later to take photo only 😉
Great play area for little ones

Great playground for kids under 10 years. Lots of open space for the older ones too. It is also fenced around so the kids will always be kept safe. Toilet is nearby so you that's another plus. BBQ place available too. We went on a Wednesday lunch and it wasn't crowded. Great for extended family to hang out together.
A good area for kids as well as the grass area

Good place to have a family picnic, with BBQ facilities and toilets available
Great little playground. Plenty to do and play on with our granddaughter.
The equipment and picnic tables were all clean and in working order.
Lots of families there making the moated of the day.
Best of all they had baby swings... so hard to find these.
Great playground for 3 to 10 year olds. Next to beach and amenities.

Nice to walk around the 'pond'; a bit boring in the winter, perhaps a better experience in the warmer months.
Happy , happy 40th birthday party with our son, his family and siblings.
A great day, great weather and perfect location which was super enjoyable. M n D /GM n GP
It is well maintained and clean. Updating perfectly
Worth spending time to get a clean soothing atmosphere
Park is amazing beautiful and clean…. Kids absolutely love it… friendly for all ages….!Only issue I have is the musical tubes that sound like church bells… beautiful when you first get there… but after 20seconds starts to drive you a bit crazy…! 🔔🔔🔔🔊🔊🔊🙉🤕
Great playground! My family hosted our annual Easter Egg Hunt here ! It was such an amazing park especially if you have toddlers as the park is fully fenced off , great bbq area , alot of shade ! Family orientated! My kids loved the flying fox ☺️ A MUST : PLEASE BRING INSECT REPELLENT !
This is a well thought out playground. There is so much shad from the palm trees and fig trees. The playground equipment kept my 11 year old entertained for over an hour. It can get quite busy, but with six different areas to play in finding something to do was easy.

If you are staying in Brisbane with young children for a few days, I'd suggest you leave a few hours half a day to walk around in the Botanical gardens and a play session here at the playground.
This is an excellent play area for small and bigger kids. Grassed picnic areas and bbqs, views of the estuary with plenty of trees for shade. With the addition of the pool area in the estuary what more could you ask for.
Would recommend

*Would not recommend during the heat of a summer day, beautiful during mornings and afternoons or on cooler days!

Kids of all ages can get the most out of their playtime at this incredibly spacious playground. With its variety of play areas, it has something for everyone!

The play equipment is situated on a sand surface and surrounded by trees for ample shade and some areas have shade sail coverage, your kids will stay a little cool in the summer.

It's not just about the slides and swings either; this playground has its own amenities like bubblers, bins, BBQ areas with picnic tables, toilets, and car parking so you can extend your stay and event host parties.

Would recommend (not during the heat of a summer day) .

I don't know how it can be over 4 stars. That's completely ridiculous that the parking cost $10 per hour and $40 per day.

Unless you want to pay that costly parking, then you better not go there.

By the way, I don't think the council love visitors. Don't go there if you have better options.

Great fun for kids of all ages! Highly reccomend visiting with a picnic rug and some refreshments. Toilets are also on site and water fountains.
Spacious playground surrounded by beautiful greenery! Safe soft floors, suitable for all ages, range of swing types and great walking paths!
Great activities for children from 1upwards.
Love that it was wheelchair accessible and included perks you don't often get like a flying fox, large sustainable/nature play areas and diggers
Pity about honkey nuts in the sand area,a constant problem otherwise it's great small area for the children.

With million dollar views, a easy walk 8km track, bbq areas, kayaking, fishing and a great fitness station, actually the best one i have seen so far. I recommend this park to anyone who wants to relax and have a great day.... it's best in summer when you and your children can swim in clear calm waters.
Beautiful place for family walking here. Just not easy for finding a park spot .

Good playground with big high slide as the feature surrounded by lagoon on one side and river on the other nice area to wak through digs allowed on leash
Just watch out for the Bull Ants there seems to be a lot around there
Cool playground, would be good if the bench seats had shade over them and a water fountain
I love this playground!
It is situated in a nice and quiet suburb, almost at the end of a queue de sac.
Slides are amazing, there are play equipments for grown ups and younger kiddos, sand almost everywhere so don't forget to come barefoot.
Very nice environment, picnic tables and BBQ.
A decent kids' playground located alongside Narrabeen Lake and the bicycle track. There are also some picnic tables where you can sit.

There is a shaded, fenced area with some equipment for the younger kids, and some climbing ropes and other equipment outside for the older kids. There are some pretty cool rock carvings, too.

There is good parking available of up to 12 hours in the carpark, which is paid or free for Northern Beaches resident parking permit holders.

There are a few public toilets available next to the carpark, but they were grotty when we were there, albeit during the Christmas break.
Very nice park! I've taken my beloved family dog Bubbles and she seems to love this area! It's disheartening to see graffiti scribbled everywhere by those mangy mutts you all call "kids". Perhaps putting leashes on them would do the trick!
Always a lovely place to come & chill. Relax with a stroll by the river or seat in the rainforest areas. There's places for everyone. Kids have lots of play areas & you can picnic on the grassy well kept lawns with your pooch in tow. You may even see the occasional friendly lizard napping in the sun

The playground equipment is old and few in number, but this park is in a great location!
The park is surrounded by a beautiful lake and trees.
There are restrooms and BBQ facilities.

Good place for kids
Undercover area with the club rooms nearby
This is a fantastic playground, with lots of different experiences for little toddlers. Good toilet facilities and shaded areas for having a sandwich. Easy parking too.
This could be classified as a destination playground. Situated at the Alice Street end of the gardens, next to Bunya Walk and the popular pedestrian/ bike route. Wide range of children's play equipment, in a shady, green forest setting. Seating and tables with toilet facilities near by in the Rotunda.
We love this park, the slide is amazing. Really disappointing to see graphic graffiti on a children's play area though. The swing has been fixed. Only problem now is that there really isn't any parking space now the houses are going up. Not sure what the plan is to fix this.
Great playground - gated for kids good for the kids pretty big in size lots of climbing equipment - nice playground for younger kids it is the only gated playground in the suburb - need more gated playgrounds
Lovely playground with a tall slide in a natural setting. Right on the Serpentine River with a small jetty where you can launch your kayak or moor a small boat. No BBQs and no toilets available.
Went here for the first time today. Word of warning: the sprinkles go off outside the entrance wetting the path on Wednesday at 9am, inside two areas of the playground wetting half the equipment and picnic tables at 10 and 10.30am.
Other than that surprise, it was a good playground. Lots if shade, and lots of sun. Fully enclosed, lots of things for little kids to do and play with. You can take a blanket and have a picnic, public toilets right outside the gate. You can stay all day if you take everything you need.
A very beautiful, well designed, suitable for children and disabled with lots of play tools. a good spot for family gatherings and having a peace of mind children can safely play.
A great children's playground in the heart of the Warriewood development, with equipment for younger and older kids, as well as adults with the BBQ facilities. The toilet block alongside the playground is really useful.
Great place to bring the kids ages 4 - 10. Quite a few different slides, 2 normal and 2 baby swings. Large basket swing too. Public toilets were clean, parking no problems. Field next door for kicking balls around.
Small, quiet, clean, new, and almost unknown, which is good.
Kids loved it ..girls 2,6,8.... Also big open areas for ball play
Its a good park but not the best for parking
A lovely small park with lots of trees and a small kids playground. Nice and quiet apart from the dogs barking!!!

Best kids Park. 10/10 quality kids. Be back soon
Lovely family friendly space with plenty of room. The running/bike track dissects the park so have to keep an eye out for the joggers and ear open for bike bells when crossing the track. The playground is tree covered and very popular. Great for kayaking/paddling/fishing.Parking is $40 for the day. There is a fresh water refill fountain and toilets but no cafe's particularly close.
