In 1988 at the Commonwealth Park, they started to put flowers in the Park for the spri...

Park with a lake beach, shoreline cycling track, BBQ stations & a sculpture by David Tolley.

👍👍 Peaceful park with a great playground. I often stop here with my Flemish rabbit for a little office picnic. He loves finding random bit of wood to show me... And gift me. Sometimes it's leaves, grass or random items he has found in the park. Thankfully this park has little to no litter. As he like...

👍👍 Very good place to get coffee, grass area for kids to run. Also is a multitude of coffee shops to choose from and Supabarn.

😐 This is a great place for walking the dog and watching the local wildlife. Kangaroos, sugar gliders and some great bird life. Used to be a tip and still shows the evidence of such.

👍👍 What a beautiful little park! We were walking along the water’s edge heading for Kingston and accidentally came upon this park. It’s small, but really well designed and filled with a variety of plantings among galvanized steel fencing. It overlooks the water and has great views in all directions. Th...
