Michael James Dunkin Memorial Seat - Ryde (NSW)

Charlotte Lam This is a lovely tree-filled park at the top of the hill above Parramatta River. There is a wonderful playground with water pump and water course, plus swings & great play equipment that is suitable for smaller and bigger kids. Ample picnic tables and the covered table areas can be booked (to reserve them for parties etc) through Ryde Council. Plenty of birds around the park make it great for bird spotting. It’s just a short walk down the hill to the river too. Toilet block was small but clean (it’s over towards the railway line area of the park).

Brijesh Pathak Must do day trip from Sydney especially during tulip festival in spring. (It’s ticketed event ~ $15/PP. it could get crowded around midday during weekends. Best to start early to avoid crowds. Amazing photo-ops with all varieties and colours of Tulips garden beds. Nice shops and cafes in Bowral to visit.
