It's a nice park which gets really busy during summer, especially towards evening. It is less busy during winter. Good for families or if you want to take kids to its playground. It definitely need some extra upgrade because the current facilities are not enough. Another major upgrade is the toalets. First of all there are not enough toalets, usually there is big line there especially at peak times, second of all they are that clean. Lastly there should be more lights throughout the park.

Stunning park, excellent skatepark, public toilets and BBQs! Every Tuesday evening at 5.30pm a charity called Kindness Community serves hot meals and drinks to those in the community that need it for free - if in need just rock up, or if you want to volunteer get in touch with Danielle at Kindness Community on Facebook !

  • Michele 'HemlokHex' White

Great BBQs under cover, although there isn't a reliable water supply terribly close (30m walk). Skate park and open areas for games. No playground near the bbqs ~ it is west of, from memory. Enjoy the fantastic undercover and open bbqs at Hemmings Skate Park!

  • Dave “skRyptix” Nguyen

This park is above adequate regarding its' facilities. What is required though are more lights after hours, this would be more for security than anything else which would benefit from any additions towards. The park being and feeling safer.

  • Faruque Islam

A good place for family. There are play grounds, kids play area and skate park along with a basketball net. It has 4 toilets which allows ambulant people. It is nicknamed as "Afghan Park" because of their extensive use as a family area.

  • Samantha Radcliffe

So much room for the family to play, with a skate park, amenities that are cleaned more than once a day, free BBQs that all work brilliantly. Covered seating areas with full size bbq tables and chairs.. Great location..

  • Bec Gibbs

It's a good park for young kids and those who get into skating. Otherwise, it's got a really bad reputation for men trying to hook up with other men. So parents be aware. I'd put a stop to my kids hanging out there.

  • Michelle P

I find this to be quite a good park. It has a playground for the kids, there's ramps for skaters/bikes. There are toilets which were pretty clean. There is tables and chairs so you can have a nice picnic.

Very good small park for young people and families with kids. As any park it has a occasional junky around but rarely. It's predominantly family park. Very well maintained by local council.
