Ian Tello Sydneys history at your doorstep

Frank Li Very nice experience on the real steam train. If you go at a hot and sunny day, dont forget the sun cream.

Judy CP Great park for all ages. Small, low play area for toddlers and bigger ones for bigger kids. Water pump and stepping stones. Lots of street parking. Can get very busy.

Rupali J Came after ages and what a great transformation.family friendly and hidden gem in Rhodes am sure weekends will be packed. If you are passing through a good pit stop near water. And has sand area to play for kids.worth visiting

Iris Dunkin Lovely spot to relax and ponder life in a positive way. Thank you grandson for organising this publication in memory of his grandfather.

James Very interesting monument - like a puzzle you have to figure out.

Charlie Beautiful view of the city from the top of the hill and lots of shade.

Mark Anderson a perfect, skinny bit of parkland escape to wander through, at either side of the canal, some good, native, flowering plants, and a large family of friendly Crows, 2 Magpies, & 2 Cockatoos that hang around, & Ibis

Charlotte Lam This is a lovely tree-filled park at the top of the hill above Parramatta River. There is a wonderful playground with water pump and water course, plus swings & great play equipment that is suitable for smaller and bigger kids. Ample picnic tables and the covered table areas can be booked (to reserve them for parties etc) through Ryde Council. Plenty of birds around the park make it great for bird spotting. It’s just a short walk down the hill to the river too. Toilet block was small but clean (it’s over towards the railway line area of the park).
