Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very nice park to stop.
It has a toilet during the day, water tap, picnic tables.
Beautiful views and easy access.
I even stayed there for a night, though someone told me it's not a good spot for that (safety wise) but I was alright.

This is a nice place to stop for a break when travelling. Paved walk beside the river. Large park for the children, which includes equipment not seen in most parks, eg. Flying fox. Covered BBQ and seating area. Plenty of shade. Several garbages for disposal of rubbish. I have seen men cleaning the BBQ and seating area early in the morning. Nearby amenities block could be cleaner, but there are toilets near Coles, which is in the shopping centre nearby. There is plenty of parking. Some seating along the river. A favourite place for rock droppers ( painted rocks for people to find and keep or rehide). A pier for thosewho like to fish. Boat ramp also.

Stopping in for a picnic lunch on way up the coast.
Great spot! Heaps for kids of all ages to do. BBQ’s are available and under cover seating.
Huge open grad areas for kids to run around. There is also a flying fox, swings, slides and other play equipment.
Very clean and tidy toilets available as well.
Heaps of local birds around.
Great spot to stop.

Like the title says it's a stopover
Beware not all the natives are nice.
But the taxis are great!
P.S Dodge the RSL if you going to play pokies

Great place to stop and rest. Located beside the river and bridge it provides a great resting spot. It had plenty of parking, amenities including BBQ’s and shelter. A public wharf and boat ramp. The children’s playground is modern and clean. It’s close to Coles and other speciality shops.

Plenty of parking for cars, caravans and RVs. Right on the river, so good for fishing (small jetty) and picnic. Rubbish bins easily accessible for disposal of rubbish. Playground for children. Undercover seating area. Picnic tables and stool available on river bank. Shopping centre with Coles nearby.

Since they have revamped this park it is excellent. Lots of activities for kids of all ages, excellent bbq facilities, good toilets, close to Coles and shopping. Swimming in the river and the best markets on the first Saturday of every month.

If you are looking for a nice quiet park close to the town centre with car parking and a childrens playground, head on down to Riverside Park. We enjoyed the walk along the Macleay River, passed the RSL Club following the Maritime Heritage Trail to Riverside Park. The childrens playground is nicely positioned under shady trees, plenty of space for a picnic and park benches by the path overlooking the river.
The Maritime Heritage Trail is a collection of historical photographs and details life in the region in the mid-late 1800s and early 1900s, it's well worth a look.
