    This is such a fantastic place to chill out in nature and soak in the gorgeous views. I had a blast kayaking there. It was seriously awesome! Plus, the prices are totally affordable, and there's plenty of parking available. It's also super convenient because it's close to the city.

    Beautiful place to explore and spend time at. Sadly the kayaking was closed the day we went but there were no notices on the website stating this, so a little disappointed as that's what we went for. Had a nice hike around the area instead though.

    What a beautiful spot. We did the 5km loop with a group of adults and kids. Took us just over an hour and a half and was a great walk for the kids. Cool ro see some wildlife too. There are plenty more walks available also. Also looked to have mountain bike trails too. There were many people out on the lake, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. People were also making use of the swimming area too. The Cafe area looked busy and will have a better look at that, next time we visit. Awesome to have a little piece of nature like that so close to the city. A must visit spot.

    I had so much fun on my solo trip to the reservoir and to the wildlife centre. Such cheap entry and really unique native wildlife I had never seen before. The perfect day out :)

    It was a good place for a bush walk. We had a plan to rent a kayak there but due to the low water level, you couldn't use kayaks. The only negative point of the park is the lack of water refills.
