This was the first time at Dee Why…read more Despite having a bus stop at the front, we found that not all buses stop here so we opted out of the public transport exercise. There was plenty of parking at the club. Many of these clubs offer cheap memberships with discounts on the food so you basically save the membership cost. Here it was $5 for two years. I joined up and with my dining buddy we "saved"over $5 with the food. We were there for lunch on a Thursday. The ladies at the till weren't the jolliest. I rolled up to the bar to buy drinks only to be told dismissively to put my order at the other end where coffee was being made. When I went down to the coffee machine I was asked what I wanted, I was then waved to the till halfway back to the bar. It was like playing a game of draughts with people who did not want to be there. You can ask for a schooner of lemon, lime and bitters but you will get a middy with no explanation as to why. I did that twice. Service seemed to warm a bit when I ordered lunch then weirdly, it was sweetness and light when I returned to order coffee and cake. There was plenty of room for us all in the covered verandah area and we all got our meals in a timely manner. The meals weren't cheap (even with the discount) but they were OK. My dining buddy had sausages but was hungry enough to eat my salad. I had a prawn mornay which was prawns in a cheese sauce served in a little dish with crumbs on the top. It was nice. Not a fan of the salad which was lettuce, more lettuce, a couple of slivers of onion and one (maybe 2) baby tomatoes cut up. The desserts were OK and the coffee a little weak.

There's nothing here too challenging for the youngsters, which probably means there's not too much that will occupy the older children for too long. There's a basketball hoop and plenty of space, although I was surprised to see that it was so close to the road and not fenced. There's a table/chair but it's not that close to the playground. There are bench seats as well. No drinking fountain....no surprise for Mitcham Council and not a lot of shade apart from the dappled tree shadows. *Dogs allowed*

We were in the area while visiting Sydney, so stopped by. Unfortunately, the pond was so full of blooming algae, that it appeared as if you could walk across it because it was solid ground. It's nice to have open green space in an open area, but it must be difficult to maintain any body of water if there isn't much water flow. We did two Australian white ibis pecking away at something.

Great park in the middle of the city and a stone's throw fro km Sydney Uni…read more It's got a lot of great play equipment for kids, a basketball court for shooting hoops and a large duck pond to sit by and ponder about the world. There is also a pool and gym complex in the middle which is a bit steep for a single visit but well priced if you join as a member. The only downside is that the huge grassy area gets easily water logged and becomes a muddy mess because local frisbee teams (yep you read right) play there rain, hail or shine tearing up the surface. There are plenty of other grass areas so it isn't too big of a deal but the council should really put in better drainage on the big area. There are events held at the park on the odd occasion too which are always worth a look.

The best part is off to the side it also has everything you need to have a picnic or bbq. With onsite picnic facilities, including undercover tables, as well as an electric bbq, this is a great venue. My boys of course love the playground.

So next time you see a bit of blue sky, drag the kids out and get them to run laps or something... :-)

It is the biggest open space in the area and you'll find lots of people exercising and playing with their kids and dogs. It almost deserves five stars, but the people using the park don't take especially good care of it. After a weekend of heavy use, there is rubbish everywhere. I take my kid to the playground here almost daily and spend a good portion of my time picking up broken glass -- I've come to the conclusion that if somebody breaks a bottle anywhere in Petersham, they pick up the pieces to distribute across the playground. Pick up after yourselves, people!!!
