Shannon Reserve — Turf Installation in Surry Hills, NSW

Our favourite time to visit this park is during the weekend market, it is so vibrant and colourful, and always a bargain to be found

Fun park, with a great children’s place space. And it turns into a market on the first Saturday of the month. Books, retro clothing, ceramics, old wares. And beautiful people. So walk slowly through the park, there’s even jazz. We heard a delightful jazz singer, very pregnant, swing with classics, like Nina Simone’s My Baby Just Cares For Me.

Brand new, shiny, exciting for 5 year olds! And parents who need a rest. Sat opposite the library, the updated park includes a big kids play zone, nicely contained inside a low fence. New trees are planted and will grow to provide shade. No toilet but the library is over the road

Great family friendly park. Only complaint is the height of the “new style safety fencing for the city of Sydney parks” (way too short). Love the new play equipment which is friendly for ages 12 months+ for 6+ plus the baby swing and net-swing is great. Nice balance of shady areas and park benches to enjoy a coffee from Wilson’s or pastries from Bourke St Bakery and/or local cafes - just limited due to COVID. Nice green grass too for the kids to run around, do yoga, have a picnic.

Today a girlfriend, her five year old and I hung out this revamped park. It’s quite sensational as there was no plastic in it anywhere. A slide made of stone, lots of wood with great paint so that there are no splinters and metal. Lots of different parts to keep the kids entertained. I’m sure it’ll get busy but it was a little treasure in the mid afternoon.
