Oriel Park

This picturesque long-established park is heavily shaded with figs, jacarandas and poinciettas and features Federation era picnic rotundas and a bamboo grove.

For young children the piece de resistance is the well-equipped fenced playground complete with old steamroller from which they can slide down via the slippery dip joined to the rear.

As a bonus it is right across the road from child friendly cafe The Pod, local sweet treats and cupcake hub.
