Keith Hill Park (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Keith Hill Park?
What makes it 69% Baby-Friendly: Pram-friendly path, shade and toilets suit infants, yet no change table or nursing room means carers need a portable mat and must plan feeds, slightly lowering ease.
Positives:

- Multiple shelters: Several picnic shelters are spaced along the shore for quick shade.
Challenges:
- No baby-change table: Standard toilets lack a dedicated changing bench; bring a portable mat.
