Nothing beats a warm sunny winter's day with perfect blue skies to venture off to a park you have heard about but never visited.
A favourite spot for family and wedding photos the word 'park' surely doesn't describe the rich beauty, history and excitement that Fagan Park has to offer.
With parkland covering over 55 hectares this is one 'massive' park! It has everything you would want and more to keep the kids and adults happy for the day.

First Stop - playground! There are so many options here. Ropes, slides, spinners, flying fox, five round swing set, sandpit and liberty (disabled) swing. A bike path surrounds the playground and there are plenty of spots for adults to sit and cast a watchful eye.
After a relaxing picnic blanket lunch we headed off to check out the Eco garden, which provides heaps of tips of helping, reduce waste in the household and information about growing your own produce.

Next up we set off on a walking/scooter adventure not knowing what was ahead because it is so big. We passed many of the eleven themed gardens, which are set off the main walking paths. Took a stroll around the lake, saying hello to the ducks and over the bridges.
All this hard work and you'd be justified in wanting a coffee! There is a coffee cart site open on weekends and school holidays. The cart provides hot drinks, muffins, cookies, chips, slushies and ice-cream.

Mitchell's Little Opinion: I Loved everything! I loved being able to scooter around and come back to our picnic blanket. I loved visiting the gardens and not knowing what was around the corners. My favourite playground equipment was the climbing equipment and slide.
Mum's Big Opinion: The playground does suit older children (5+years) due to the complexity of the play equipment but in saying that there is a small sandy area and some play equipment for younger kids. The expansive grounds mean that there is plenty of shade and grassy area near the playground to sit and relax.
