Reviews
Huge covered playground with different areas. Great for 1yo to run around. Will definitely visit again.
Great for the kids to play around and use all there energy it could do with a weekend food van or coffee van
Nice quiet park (for a sunday when we visited). Nothing fancy by any means, being more of an old school timber fort style playground. Quite large which is great so kids don't get bored straight away. A good number of swings. Nice basic park, but far from amazing. Good for all ages, but if your kid is all about climbing and ropes, there are more challenging parks not far away.
Great little park outside the stadium to stretch your legs, run a ball, play with kids
Kids love Newport Park, so much to do for all ages
This is a fantastic park. It large fort is heaps of fun. Half of the fort is fully enclosed by a fence. No gate but parents can stay by the entrance to make sure they know where the kids are. Plenty of bbqs and picnic tables. 7 swings. 3 slides. A short walk away is the bike park. Plenty of walking tracks. Heaps of car parks.
Only downside is you have to be willing to not see your children continuously because the fort is very large and you can't see to the other side.
Wheelchair and pram accessible even into the fort. Nice toilets.

Very open, the city looks beautiful from there at night
Went there on Labour Day. Didn't struggle to find a car park. The place wasn't crowded. With a picnic mat, some snacks, and a few friends, it was a nice way to spend the afternoon.
Absolutely amazing playground there is something for every age group !!!
Great toddler playground, love the multi zones, plenty of space when it's busy. The Cafe is wonderful too
Excellent playground. Lots of different equipment for many ages, with a fence around (except the entrance), for containment. Nice grass to sit on. Very nice cafe with kiosk for take away.
Nice equipments to play for all age kids. This is part of Blaxland Park. Lots of parking. But be careful and always park in bay. Parking rangers are very active here.
Large open grassed area next to the Olympic stadium. Has a public toilet next to it but no other facilities or shelter. A short walk from Olympic Park station as well as food and drink stores nearby. Good spot to attend concerts / festivals as well.
Relaxing. Wondrous. From the field to the river. Trees on the hill, and countless things for kids to do.
The cafe was good. Food was better than the price suggested.
A heavenly place for family and solo.

Village Green Playground is a great public space for anyone living around the area. Great facilities (when other people leave the BBQ clean), plenty of play area and shaded picnic spaces.playing soccer here is welcomed, best for kids highly recommended for Sydney residents
Lovely park with a nice little playground for the kids to burn off their boundless energy.
Beautiful birds stopped by for a peek too!

Great play area for kids of all ages. Very safe and shaded with lots of different areas to play in. Now called Poolgarla. Great coffee shop.
Frequented this well maintained Park today, near the Playground in South Perth. I loved the huge tree we were under and the atmosphere was great.
Today ample parking was available however, it surely is in need of more parking areas on busy days. It puts us off if we cannot find a decent parking spot when an activity takes place....

We were there along with family members to celebrate Shabana birthday, so she invited all Sydney families to Olympic Park.
Great place for the little ones to have water fun. Probably not for older kids as there's no swimming pool, just water fountains of all kinds, water bucket drops and water spouts. Our 3 year old grandson had a great time. Toilets available, plenty of shade and seating, a couple of bbqs and retunders, plus a small playground nearby, all covered by shade sails. It wasn't really busy the day we went, so it was quite easy to get a car park. Would definitely go again!
Looks good for the kids.
Love this free water park for babies, toddlers and young kids. Shaded areas to sit, bucket and spraying water lots of fun.
Note that fence isn't fully closed in.

Good spot for kids and parents. Ice cold water which is great for the very hot days. Clean and well looked after.
I can not understand the good reviews. It's hilariously bad! This playground offers nothing but a hot surface, large dull structures where it's impossible to keep kids in sight line, slides that are burning hot at all times due to their material and no shade. Shame! Let aside the lousy parking situation! Oh and the tree house. Perhaps great for older kids.
And what’s the point of the BBQs and waterplay being miles away from the playground, close to the water's edge and next to a bike lane where people drive their bikes on steroids with no hindsight of kids?

Little sister slipped over and grazed her face, knees, elbows and chin and was completely covered in blood. Everything is really slippery and the water is ice cold.
We went there for Diwali Mela, it quite a big park. Good for morning/evening work but not in summer.
Nice spot close to the water, there is public toilets nearby but no amenities for babies i.e change tables etc.
Great place for family picnics and kids love the aqua part of it ,so it's very family friendly
Absolutely beautiful park by the ocean. Fully fenced so very safe for little kids also. Kids really loved it here. What a great find.
This really is a terrific playground for younger kids. A good selection of different play sets, all well shaded. Easy parking and an excellent cafe nearby makes it a standout choice.
During the summer, there's a special place where children can enjoy playing in the fountain. The fountain is in operation, providing a refreshing and playful experience for kids. Since there's a significant amount of water, it's advisable for children to wear swimsuits. Wearing sandals is also a good idea to ensure their safety and protect their feet.
Been 15 years been taking my kids to Blaxland now teenagers still come here. Highly recommended for kids, family and friends.
We visited Kidspace Playground today by Chermside Westfield and my kids had a blast. Even as an older Playground, they really enjoyed running all over it like a castle. It was cool how it's mostly undercover, which means kids can play rain or sun. There is a toilet block, plenty of walking tracks around the park and even a small Road way park for kids on bikes or scooters.
Heaps of picnic space, seating and some on-site bbqs.

Beautiful view, kids playground and some gym equipment for parents.
Quiet, spacious, nice weather, clean, many trees, fresh air… it’s surely a nice park ☺️
A definitive playground experience. This is how a playground should be built. Great variety of slides, ramps, climbing equipment and places to explore. Particularly enjoy scaling up the tree house. Visit on weekdays to avoid the crowds.
The park itself is stunning with beautiful views of The Swan river and the city skyline with shady trees and barbecue areas with picnic tables and plenty of rubbish bins with the playground area. However the barbecues are disgustingly dirty and you can see that they are not maintained at all. We came down here for a barbecue and could definitely not use the barbecues at all so very disappointing .
Great big park with ample parking green space and giant playground
Facilities, bbq chairs benches
Kids can spend a whole day here with swings too, skill levels for all ages
Also a handball court

Great park for the kids, plenty of shade and seats around.
Toilets were clean and easily accessible.
Plenty of open parkland to set up camp in, and barbecue facilities.
Most of the playground is undercover and is mostly made from wood.
Great spot to go for a few hours or for a family get together.

Great local spot for sunsets and flying kites
This playground has so much to offer for children and adults. My favourite is the Treehouse because it's a pain to try and manoeuvre around it, but fun. It's very quiet during the week and gets very busy at the weekend. This playground is inside Blaxland Riverside Park which is a bonus. There's a kiosk next door and plenty of public lavatories. Highly recommended for everyone but come visit early morning or late afternoon, especially in hot weather.

Always love this little playground and the cafe / toilets are close by. Theres a small playground, a sand pit,a spider climb. Kids can bike ride and theres a flat large lawn area for older kids to play as well.
Had 4 year olds birthday party here, plenty to amuse 15 kids and their parents. Good playground and equipment, shaded in summer, covered tables fand seating or picnics, trees and expansive grass areas. Short walk to toilets. Parking can be difficult at weekends.
Cathy Freeman Park is superbly nested at the Olympics Park. Plenty of parking spaces and perfect setting for the recent Spring Cycle 2022 event
Lovely place to freshen up and play
A good fun place for kids. With water they can play in.
Good for sunsets
A lovely area for family with children. Open and wide area with grass and trees, playground, toilets, Cafe, parking available .
This is probably THE best playground in whole of Sydney and that's no lie. It has a flying fox, swings, tunnels, long slides, climbing ropes and more. The kids always have a fun time here and it's hard to drag them away when time to leave.
Grab a gas BBQ and make an afternoon of it. There is heaps here for the kids to keep them occupied.
Parking is available in two areas - down towards the water, and on the hill near the entrance. This park gets super busy so best times to avoid the crowds is either early in the morning on weekends, or during a weekday.

My daughter and I visited this place today. Unfortunately, I couldn't take a picture of the slide, but I didn't see the slide I saw to on Google. It looked a little not easy for my daughter to playground, but there were lots of fun rides in the pods. We are satisfied.
Very nice park for walking and family, friends gathering. We played bingo 😊 last night
Fantastic water play equipment, ladybird sprinklers, big bucket, wheelchair friendly water play too. Great shade, BBQs, picnic parks and wooden seating around the water park. Unfortunately the playground next to it is not accessible for disabilities, the slide is joined to the stairs with spider web netting. A wonderful day out nevertheless!
Lovely spot close to the city yet relatively quiet.
A beautiful green park with plenty of trees for a picnic in the shade, especially near the playground equipment for shelter while you supervise your kids.
Cafe a short walk across the field at the Waterview centre, they had slushies for the kids & coffee for the adults, so it’s a winner!
Playground equipment aimed more at 3yo-9yos, but there is also a climbing web for older kids and an all-access swing. Plenty of grass to kick a ball or throw a frisbee too.

The Woody Point foreshore and parks have become a great place to spend a weekend morning either walking or using the shared bikeway. Wide views out over the bay, shops and cafés nearby. Picnic style shelters, facilities include public toilets and children's playground. Easy bike access from here either back down towards the bridge or further up the peninsular.
Great playground with versatile equipment and a scenic waterfront
Toilets accessible at close
Fitness area for adults make it more attractive

A great little area for the kids - contains clean bbq facilities, gazebos, shaded areas and a playground suitable for young children. drink fountains, climbing equipment. Thoroughly recommend for families. Lots of greenery makes for a relaxing experience.
Awesome playground with lots of equipments and places to sit around. The water area is also really nice and the kids loved it.
Awesome playground with heaps of equipment and a few undercover tables/chairs. There are also some water fountains within 50m for kids to play in
Huge park with a huge wooden structure that kids and adults can play in together. There is also a swing designed for disabled people. Love the setup and the idea. There are plenty of BBQ sets to use.
We attended a birthday party. There was another birthday beside us.. Seems like it is quite popular. Great for kids to enjoy and adults to catch up.
Will definitely come again.

Flying fox is sub par, but the location is nice. Hard to use with all the kids on it.
Pretty good playground
Fantastic park to bring the little ones. Huge play area, BVQs and toilet facilities. Bring some sunscreen and a hat though, a large portion is not covered.
Amazing park. Could use a few more shaded spots or even covered pathways. But otherwise it's super awesome!
Great park. Even on a lovely sunny day there's plenty of space
Nice playground. Really fast slide and a great place to take the kids. The sand is also very soft. Have fun here when you go!
Beautiful lush green park with great views of Swan River alot of rides and good stop from busy city area, bus stop just minutes away and ample parking bays, free parking after 5pm weekdays and Sunday all day. Overall good park.
Plenty of modules and soft floor, and in any case yhe kids can also play in the grass
Village Green Playground is a great public space for anyone living around the area. Great facilities (when other people leave the BBQ clean), plenty of play area and shaded picnic spaces.
Great place ! Amazing place with BBQ, car Park , toilet facilities and clean playground.
Highly recommended
Highly recommended
Great areas for kids to run amok, best I think for kids under 10. Fenced area its huge and conveniently located with a cafe next to it. Those guys are really pumping out the take out coffees! Different play zones makes this unique. A wooden ship in a pirate theme, monkey bars, a maze for the little kids and different climbing things to challenge all comers. Can sit outside the area as well with plenty of grass all round. Busy and for good reasons.
Its a lit playground, got a few cool little swings and duuuuuude the flying fox is something else, such an amazing place to live and what an awesome time to be alive am i right?!
Nice playground with flying fox. Toilets and food places close by. Great walking/biking track as well.
