With wide paths, shaded picnic spots, and plenty of room to explore, it’s the perfect spot for a family adventure. **What to Bring** - Comfortable walking shoes - Water bottles and snacks - Sunscreen and a hat - A small backpack for little explorers - A picnic rug if you plan to stay awhile **Best Age Range** 2–12 years **Good to Know** The parklands are pram-friendly, with wide, paved paths making it easy to navigate with strollers. Public toilets and water fountains are available, and entry is free, though parking fees apply in some areas. Don’t miss the chance to spot native birds and even the occasional kangaroo! **Nearby** - Moore Park Golf Course (great for a post-walk treat) - Sydney Park (another fantastic green space) - The Australian Museum of Motion Picture & TV (fun for older kids) **Tips From Other Parents** Bring a small bucket and spade if your child loves digging—there are sandy patches perfect for little builders.
