Not knowing a great deal about this park, when I arrived I was amazed to see the play area with the shiny slippery slides, climbing areas and massive swings. This is an awesome park. While some parts of it still seem under development, and there is a real lack of shade areas, this has to be one of the best play areas I have seen in Sydney. If your kids can not have fun here they are simply not trying hard enough. While it appeared there was a tonne of parking available, on the weekend you are going to find it challenging. As for what to bring when you come, if you have a bike, bring it as there is a huge bike track to check out. If you don't have one, you can rent one ( http://frid.co/qSpPMO ). Of course if you want to chill out and relax, perhaps with a coffee, then head to either the Armory Wharf Cafe or the Armory Wharf Canteen ( http://frid.co/nKLbIw - which is only open on weekends and public holidays). Alternatively you could grab one of the benches near the free BBQ hot plates and cook up a couple of snags. If you are looking for the perfect place to have a kids birthday party, this might be it! You just might not want to do it on the weekend...

And you want a water feature too?? Seems someone is practising a bit of wishful thinking.... or.... they have been to Steel Park. If you are looking for a place to have a picnic with the kids, then this is it. You should know however that it is not perfect. The playground is not fenced off. The kids can access the river. The water feature has a lot of stone (which is not soft if kids fall on it). Finally.. if you did not know about the water feature and come here with children, no matter what you tell them, they will be a sopping wet mess by the time it is time to go home. All is all... so long as you actually pay attention to your child and supervise what they are doing (I know know I am likely asking far too much here), then they will have a blast, and the person "minding" all of the stuff at the picnic mat (as they read their book and sun bake a little) will also be able to relax a little. Need I say more. Check this place out. Still to find an awesome cafe in spitting distance, but you'll survive. I did... :-)

Hallstrom Park is built *into* the local nature, it's under a shade-dappled grove of trees and utilises the things in and around it to make a super unique park that the local kids lose their little 'nanas over. There's Elephant Rock and Gorilla Boulder, huge stones that have life-like animals carved into them which is fun, but they also have a speaker hidden in the bushes that plays jungle noises. What! How rad is that? There's a mini-race track for kids bicycles, a fossil are of old 'dinosaur bones', and heaps of slides and things to climb on, this thing could have been designed by Walter Burley Griffin it's so in sync with the environment.

The cement path through the park links a variety of parks from Rydalmere to Putney and beyond. Cyclist use this path extensively and often there are the early morning walkers getting that bit of exercise before work. The park has bench seats and is very close the Kissing Point Wharf. There is a ferry from this wharf every hour and it is less than an hour into the city. If you are catching a ferry go early especially on the weekends. Sometimes the ferry will continue past the wharf if it is full to capacity. The beautiful feature of the park is the very large bronze fish that are on poles. The fish change direction moved by the wind.

The playground is seriously well-equipped and in one of the best location in NSW I reckon. The 3 year-olds had a ball. There's so much to climb and explore for them: Tunnels, climbing frames, the surrounding parkland, the toilets, oh hang on a minute...where's he gone. This is the parks major problem. It isn't at all contained. Yes, I know we should be watching them but honestly, playgrounds are a little bit about mums catching up too. Good shaded areas for picnics but no shade over the equipment which makes it a no-no in summer. Free on-street parking for 2 hours which is a bonus and toilets. So no more hopping around for parents as they enviously watch their kids pee against trees. We'd go back again but really it caters for older pre-school kids not exploring toddlers. Lots to fall and stumble over. Lovely spot though.
