Spencer Park, Picnic Area & Playground

We had a great visit to Spencer Park. There’s so much to see and do—between the playground, paddling pool, BBQ and picnic areas, and the wide open grassy fields, there was always something happening. We didn’t even make it to the nearby beach, as there was already plenty to fit into one day. We’d happily return. The main disappointment was the amount of rubbish around the park. From a distance it looks fine, but up close there was litter scattered throughout—diapers near the paddling pool, and small bits of rubbish around the playground and picnic areas. This feels less like an issue with the council and more about how we, as visitors, treat our shared green spaces. If we want to keep places like this enjoyable for everyone, it’s important we all take responsibility. We spent a fair bit of time picking up rubbish ourselves and would encourage others to do the same.

Spent the day here after a long absence, the park was great the farmyard was abit disappointing with only a few roosters, 2 pigs and some birds in an Avery. Plenty of picnic tables BUT not 1 single rubbish bin, in fact signs posted say to put it all in your boot
