Our first day of 2021 was spent exploring the recently opened Dawson-Damer Park in Oran Park.
There are plenty of access points to the park for both prams and wheelchairs, with wide pathways although the park is not flat. There is ample seating though in some places it is far away from the playground so not suitable for children who need constant supervision. There is also plenty of parking but I imagine it will fill up quickly in warmer weather when the water play splash park is more in demand.
The change rooms and toilets are spacious with baby change tables in most. There is a park for smaller children at one end and a park for bigger kids at the other with the splash park in between plus ping-pong (table tennis) tables and a half basketball court. There are water bubblers / drink fountains available.
My kids aged 14 and 11 enjoyed the 'ninja course' although the timer didn't appear to be working. They also enjoyed seeing a herd of cows come down to a nearby damn for a drink.
Dawson-Damer Park is located at the corner of Dick Johnson Drive and O'Toole Avenue in Oran Park, just down from the Camden Council office and Oran Park Library. More information about the facilities available can be found via Camden Council website.
