Islington Park, Islington
Recently my eldest son, Tyler was invited to a birthday party at Islington Park in Islington (Newcastle, NSW region). Location Maitland Road, Islington.
I had driven passed before and thought we needed to go check out the park.
When we went there for the party I wish we had gone sooner.
The place is great for all of the family.
There is a brilliant playground partially shaded for the kids - including a disabled swing.
There are sensory activities of instruments and visual structures.
A range of shaded picnic tables and bbqs were available for everyone to use.
There are ample bike paths to go for a short or long bike ride.
Plenty of space to kick around a soccer ball or play a game of cricket.
The walk across the bridge is also a peaceful way to spend an afternoon.
There is so much to do.
Just pack your picnic lunch - there are a few cafes and a servo around to get food or drink but not alot.
It is also close to water so you will need to keep a good eye on the kids.
