The Riverside
Park picnic area has car parking, barbecues, picnic
tables, toilets, two children's playgrounds, and a picnic
shelter to provide shade or shelter from rain. There are
also some seats under the trees, facing the river, if
you're in a contemplative mood; but expect the seagulls
to keep you company!
Apart from
seagulls on the alert for free handouts from picnickers,
other birds you'll see in the picnic area include magpies
and sulphur crested cockatoos (you'll hear them
screeching on the wing or in the treetops). It's likely a
small and varied party of ducks will also be paddling
around in the river.
Above
and below are some views of the picnic area facilities. These
photos were taken early in the morning - it's not always so deserted!
