Wattle Park reviews
60 Perfect spot for a BBQ! The carpark is close enough that you don't need to walk too far with all thr BBq items.
Playground was also big and the kids had lots of fun.
It's been run down for so long but now, some great development. A new imaginative playground, pathways, seats and barbeques. The playground includes an earth mound with slides and climbing equipment. There's also a great water play area.
Set in remnant and planted bushland with an oval and a golf course, it's a huge area. The grandkids love it. Great place to walk the dog (must stay on lead).
The new playground is absolutely fantasticthe bbq areas are amazing and the amount of green and open spaces is great. My favourite park in the eastern suburbs by far
Nice large sized suburban park with many tall Euculypt trees providing a home and food for many birds.
We saw lots of Cockatoos and Corellas. Highlight were the Gang-Gang cockatoos, cracking open the seemingly impenetrable gum nuts!
Currently the park is undergoing some upgrades, including repairs to the heritage buildings, old trams and installing a new playground. Expected to be completed soon. Should be good when they it's all finished.
There was construction at the abandoned trams that prevented me from conducting business at the abandoned trams.
Attended for a funeral service. Very nice place however, biggest problem was a big lack of speakers. Not sure who arranges that side of things but so disappointing not to be able to hear the speakers on the day. People go to a lot of trouble to write their eulogies.
Wattle park is a wonderful place with table and chairs and picnic area. It has a nice playground
Great park with barbecues (bring your own gas bottle) and picnic tables. Good for a dog walk but they have to be on a leash.
An expansive park with a whole range of tracks and some great picnic spots. The tram is an undercover seating area and great for larger groups and picnics. There's a small park a various tracks including more hilly routes and several that were quite flat. Lots of birdlife here and ample shade on the walks from the tree cover. Good for running or taking the dog for a long walk!
Big park with plenty of picnic tables, a few playgrounds for kids and we enjoyed walking on the small tracks like it’s in the wood.
Had the wake after my mother's funeral at the Chateau. Staff bent over backwards to help and despite being short staffed did an exceptional job. Very impressed
Huge park! Great place to walk, run or cycle. Plenty of shade for the sunnier days and ample parking to be found. Quite hilly and has a few steeper slopes, so just make sure to watch your step. Lovely visit. Kookaburras here, too!
Lovely place to take my toddler. He loves the old trams. Lots of space and not cramped in. Best to go during the week when it's quiet
We are lucky to have such beautiful bush land within the city. Pity people insist on leaving their rubbish throughout the park.
Very spacious, nice walking trails, couldn’t see many birds, but that’s probably because of my timing, was midday.
Wattle Park is a great park for family gatherings, picnics etc. There is a bar be cue, a few tables with bench seats, a couple of old trams have been secured in the park for children to play on as well as other climbing equipment and a slide. At the moment - December/January - the park is very dry. I would love to visit again after some cooler, wetter weather. There is adequate parking, mostly in the shade and a couple of parking spacrs ate allocated for Disability Parking.
Still preserved as much as it were when first seen in 1967.
Bit traffic noisier, but the Botanical growth reduces this a bit. Saw no tadpoles in creek, which might be out of season until later next year with Spring.
This park has so much potential but is hopelessly maintained and considered. There is no lawned area for picnics, the walking paths are completely unsuitable to run on or push a pram, the prevalence of unkept bush make it dangerous for women to walk alone. The tram is considered a highlight…. Seriously! It hasn’t improved in 30 years and could be unbelievable if some dollars and thought were put to it. If there is a management committee they should be embarrassed.
Fun for kids. It's nice park but not that good and not well maintained. There is BBQ also available but we did not found any garbage bins.
