Burnside council park in Tusmore with a playground, sandpit, summer toddler wading pool, barbecues, accessible toilets and bookable tennis courts.

Tusmore Park on Stirling Street, Tusmore, is a City of Burnside park with mature trees, lawns and First Creek, which runs through the park in winter, crossed by a wooden and cobblestone bridge. The playground has a spring-mounted ride, a dome-shaped rubber climbing web, three swings (nest, toddler and older child), two stand-on spinners, a slide and a sandpit, with ramped path access and partial tree shade. The park has accessible toilets, barbecue and picnic tables, and five tennis courts that can be booked through the council for a fee. A covered, unsupervised toddler wading pool operates in summer but was listed as currently closed when checked in October 2026; children there must be supervised by a parent at all times. Parking for 20 or more cars is off Kennaway Street, with street parking on Stirling Street and Rivington Road.
