New South Wales (abbreviated as NSW) is a state on the east coast of Australia. It borders Queensland to the north, Victoria to the south, and South Australia to the west. Its coast borders the Tasman Sea to the east. The Australian Capital Territory is an enclave within the state. New South Wales' state capital is Sydney, which is also Australia's most populous city.

Orange Adventure Playground

Reviewed By KateGareth

We visited this fabulous playground with 5 children aged between 6-12 years old. Everyone LOVED it. Lots of swings, slides and places for imagination plus a scooter track too! We spent a few hours here and this kids still weren’t ready to leave. There are lovely places to have a picnic too with picnic tables. It’s right next door to the Botanical Gardens which we enjoyed a walk through to get to the playground ( even though it can be accessed via car with a car park next to it )

Tamworth Marsupial Park

The Marsupial Park is a native animal experience unlike any other in NSW, the 14-hectare park has free entry. Children can get close to kangaroos, wallabies, cockatoos and emus, spot the species in the free-flight aviary and hand feed the Indian peacocks. Within the Marsupial Park is the community-built Adventure Playground which has two distinct areas: one for under-5s and another for over-5s. It encourages children to use their fine and gross motor-skills – and of course, their imagination. There are barbecue facilities and bathrooms.

This free attraction is the BEST attraction in town if you have young kids. The park inside is fun and well maintained, the animals are great and interactive. It’s all run by volunteers (make sure you help out in the little red box on the way out) and a lot of the animals are rescued. Whilst you see more animals with damaged wings or singe legs the character of these cheeky residents shine through. Go and give it a go, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Lovely area for families and friends to have some outdoor time close to the town. The park has a water way with ducks, which amuse adults and children alike. There are undercover areas - some have bbq's, and play areas for children, plus amenities. What more could you want for a relaxing time. There is even a gazebo where wedding ceromonies are often performed (weddings are also just in the park not in the gazebo)

Zippity Doo is a kid’s playhouse where you just let your kids entertain themselves while you can have time by yourself or with friends, eating and relaxing with a hot coffee in our cafe. Let’s face it, kids need serious stimulation and if they don’t have things to play with to keep them distracted, things can spiral out of control.

Rainy day time out or just any time, kids have a great time, good food at reasonable prices and staff very friendly and helpful. Going to have birthday party there, great deal and no worries about weather or kids getting bored. Fantastic and will go regularly

Bicentennial Park

Reviewed By gds199 - Sydney, Australia

I am disappointed we didn't get to this place earlier, all this time I have been in Sydney I have been missing out! Relaxing park that caters to everyone. Plenty of open green slopes for picnics, bbqs etc, walking paths for a short stroll, interesting water features, cafe areas and play equipment for kids, good bicycle tracks for those wanting to ride at pace, plenty of tracks for a good run, educational structures, as well as a water way / creek with plenty of bird life... Must visit more often to explore this place fully.

Holroyd Gardens

Reviewed By 88tony88 - Parramatta, Australia

Came here for an evening walk after dinner. Holroyd Garden is a great place for both kids and adults. There were two playgrounds, a bicycle track for kids, a small walking track for those who love exercise. There was plenty of parking on site and it is easy accessible by car or public transport. There were buses stopped at the corner of the garden and Merrylands train station and shopping centre just a stone's throw away. There were public toilets and BBQ facilities in the park. The garden was fenced for safety purposes and it is opened from sunrise to sunset. There was an old brick factory outside the park and plenty of professional wedding photographers brought the bridal parties here for wedding photography. This is probably due to this old abandoned brick factory looks antique and a beautiful small lake next to it. There were plenty of ducks swimming in the lake and I could see some parents brought their kids to feed the ducks. Holroyd Garden is a great place for kids and adults for social gatherings or relaxing.
