After the devastating bushfires of the north it was nice to visit this lush, green park in the city. Paths are easy to follow, maps are detailed and you could easily take a stroller or wheelchair around. Lots of birdlife and snake warning signs. I was especially pleased to see the environmentally friendly sinks at the toilets. I visited Lizard Log about 9am on s weekday and it was pleasantly quiet but the facilities & number of BBQ's suggests it could easily cater to hundreds. I enjoyed my visit.

Walking around the park, only a few minutes from Blacktown station, you could believe you are far from a large city. The bird wildlife, the interesting facts dotted around the walk makes you aware of our part in the ecosystem. Relaxing picnic areas, bbqs, waterplay area for young kids, basketball courts, open fields for footy, a great place for a family gathering .

Such a fun experience for my 3 year old daughter and the adults. Nice flat easy walking paths. My daughter walked the whole zoo. We got an annual pass and it is well worth the money. It’s great to have a zoo so close to home. The animals all look happy and healthy. I’ve told all my friends and work colleagues to check it out.

All under one roof you will find fresh fruit and vegetables, pet shop, nursery, bakery, Deli, butcher, fresh seafood and a barber. Along side what you would normally see at a market like Paddy's. There is plenty of on-sight parking, toilets and ATM's. For lunch there is a variety of food trucks and food stores . Just a tip, its quite big so go to the information center and ask for a free map of the markets first. Do your rounds then get your groceries before you leave.

Was a little apprehensive about renewing the passes this year. COVID and all that jazz. But with the handy little discount for renewing early and a hot summer with two young children to keep occupied we thought what the hell. So we tested the waters without the kids a few weeks ago, arrived at 10am when the gates opened and left at 4:30pm just before closing. Rode most of the slides without too much waiting. Got beds on the beach by the wave pool. Bit annoyed at no lazy river but here's hoping that reopens later in the season. Carted the kids off this weekend for their first visit of the summer, again 10am arrival, beds on the beach and straight to the slides. 5 slides and too over excited kids later and we chilled on the beach for a bit. Having been stung a little for extra food last year we planned ahead and filled the esky with water and fruit to get us through the day which lasted us pretty well, would recommend taking food with you and using it as a bit of downtime during the day if you have kids. Only downside was queueing for a slide that was shut, only to find out once we reached the top, but overall we all had a great day and all came away a little browner and a lot more exhausted. Many more days to spend over the coming months I imagine. Well worth the investment in the annual passes.
