Hold onto your hats mums and dads, this park is an absolute corker! West Epping Park underwent a major upgrade that was completed in early 2018, with a spend to the tune of $10 million +, and now it’s even better still with the addition of a few shade sails!
The park has so much to offer – it really has something for everybody, including:

- basketball court
- mini skate park
- ping pong tables
- BBQ area with sheltered tables
- synthetic sports oval for soccer and cricket
- a public plaza space
- a new amenities building (not yet finished)
- water stations for humans and dogs!
As for the playground, there are 2 – one for older kids and one for younger kids.
The younger kids playground features:
- a small side

- spinning flowers
The older kids playground features:
