What makes it 88% Kids-Friendly: Two age-zoned playgrounds, shallow shoreline, picnic shelters and free BBQs create an all-day outing for 3-12s; parents must watch children near the unfenced river and busy boat ramp.
Why 2–3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Gives time to play on two playgrounds, picnic by the river, grab a café treat and try paddling without tiring the kids.
Timber fort playground:
Climb ramps, ropes and slide on the large timber play structure.
Tip: Head here first to beat weekend crowds at the larger play area.
Inclusive swings:
Enjoy the birds-nest and accessible swings beside the café.
Tip: Bring a soft toy for toddlers to hold on the swings securely.
Riverside picnic and BBQ:
Use shaded tables and free gas barbecues for a family lunch by the water.
Tip: Arrive before noon to claim a riverside spot with the best river views.
Rock-pool exploring:
Walk along the gently sloping shore to spot small fish and crustaceans.
Tip: Pack water shoes for kids and a small bucket for collecting shells.
Family kayak adventure:
Hire tandem kayaks nearby and launch from the public ramp.
Tip: Book kayaks in advance and bring life jackets sized for children.

A perfect spot to spend peaceful weekend mornings or enjoy refreshing early runs — beautiful, serene, and simply stunning.

A large, well known cafe is available with toilets inside, but there is also a public toilet block (I didn't use this so not sure how clean it is). The beaches along the river had nice white sand. There is lots of parking which is metered but I found out later the first 2 hou...

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.

The nearby café ☕ is a great spot to grab a coffee and catch up with friends, and the views—whether it’s early morning 🌅 or late at night 🌃—are always stun...
In summer, bring sunscreen, hats and extra water; during winter, check wind conditions before kayaking and dress in layers.
