A picnic area located near Griffiths St car park. The picnic area has a shelter and tables are scattered throughout park. BBQs are available. There are toilets near the picnic area and athletics track.
Paths circle the lake and main paths are concrete and flat. Additional paths are gravel but smooth, some undulated paths around surrounding park. Rough surfaces in some sections around the dam wall.
Review:
A big area set around the lake with two playgrounds, BBQs, shelters, athletics track, skate park and fitness stations. There are mostly sealed paths with some parallel gravel sections. There are plenty of water birds to see in the creek and lake.
