Playground: There is a playground for young children on the eastern side of the bridge with an associated BBQ area
Basketball shooting ring: The above area also incorporates a shooting ring
Tennis: The courts can be booked for a small fee and equipment hired from the Information Centre
Fishing: Safe fishing is possible from landings and estuary banks and a catch is quite likely. It is not necessary to have rods and reels as children can have great fun from landings with a small handline. Please return all undersized fish to the water to preserve the stocks for later years.
Swimming: The shallows at the estuary are safe for supervised wading and play. DO NOT swim at the ocean beach as there are dangerous rips and undertows.
Night “torch walks”: These are great fun and allow spotting of many native species such as herons, kangaroos, possums and the odd koala. Remember snakes are nocturnal too.
Bike riding: There is ample opportunity for mountain bike riding around the park but children can ride their cycles around the township area.
Canoes: can be hired by hourly fee from the local Boat Hire operators who will ensure that you know the river rules.
