This isn’t a wildlife park, it’s a zoo, with nearly all of the animals kept in cages and pens. I just wanted to leave as soon as possible and was quite distressed by the experience.

A nice park with a good cafe for the parents to grab something to eat whilst the kids play out the front in the water park. Who would think you were in the middle of Blacktown

Recommended by local friends as a good trash n treasure market. Got there about 12.30 and people packing up already even though it closed at 2pm. Good range of items from junk to "china town" goods. Didnt try food but it looked popular and smelled good. Glad we went and walked around.

I am a resident near this establishment . I have attended the swim centre over the years . It is a pool with a wave machine aand a smaller pool for lessons as well as a 25 meter pool . The only place to recreational swim is the wave pool . Which is good except it gets overcrowded . Only suitable to stand in the water and the waves come at intervals . The 25 meter pool is laned off and not to be used for social swimming . Standing room only in the wave pool with the crowd and there is only 5 to 10 people using the lane pool . I have spoken to the manager and they feel that the lane pool should be reserved for the people wanting to do laps . Overcrowded in the wave pool but lack of use in the lane pool .
To ad insult to the day the wave pool was closed to be decontaminated as there was someone had soiled the pool . What a disgrace . never again . I will drive to another suburb to use their pool . I can walk to the Leisure Centre .

Wonderful facility for all the family to enjoy; reasonably priced, especially if you join up. Quite good variety of food that is reasonably priced as well. Large play area and a lot of Seating for onlookers. Only drawback is there isn't facility for babychanging. Close to other area attractions such as Wet n Wild.

Not only can you buy souvenirs but also but fruits, vegetables & household items like clothes, toys and hardware at good price on weekends.Massive place with ample parking space but it looks like it has lost its old glamour.
Remember that most shops accept only cash.
Only a few eatable sites seen here.The Persian restaurant"Nomak"s a must go to to taste Persian food.
The security guys were warm and helpful with arranging taxis for non locals.
