It's a lovely place to relax and wind up busy days or weeks. Good for outdoor picnics. There are enough grass area, sand-field playground for children, shades, public toilets, and convenient 2P parking areas. We can walk to boat ramps or jetty for sightings of dolphins, seagulls, and swans.

Very convenient parking area and parkland for any local picnic, outdoor, or running / exercise activities. Free parking for the first two hours. Running loop pathways right around the bay. We did a seven km loop which was exceptional. Highly encourage getting away from the city and parking up here for a few hours of fresh air and adventure.
