River Park, Ermington

River Park (listed as Arista Way park on Google!) is a sweet little park amid a very large reserve in Ermington along Parramatta River, with views across to Olympic Park.

It’s small but mighty, ticking the following boxes we mums love:

• it is fully fenced (with two access points)
• it has soft fall ground
• it has beautiful water views
• there is a walking path (wide) along the river for bikes, scooters, prams etc
• there are TWO other parks for older kids a few minutes walk away (Halvorsen Park and George Kendall Reserve Park) – so after your toddler is tired and asleep in the pram you can walk to the bigger one!

The play equipment is best suited to children aged 12 months – 6 years as everything is low to the ground and easy to climb. Equipment includes:

• a cubby house with a climbing frame attached
• swings
• rockers
• a ship with multiple wheels, binoculars, stairs and a slide

Getting There

The playground runs along Arista Way, which is at the bottom of Broadoaks Street. There is plenty of unmetered street parking.
