CARSS PARK: PLAYGROUND, BEACH, SWIMMING, BUSH WALKS + GREAT CAFE! Carss Bush Park is a magnificent place to spend a day with the family. Carss Park scores the family friendly trifecta having a wonderful playground; a terrific cafe/restaurant, the Carss Park Cafe and Grill, right beside the playground, with delightful views over the water; a beach and enclosed swimming area on the Georges River; and plenty of space to picnic and play, plus some small bush walks good for all ages of the family. Carss Park is a large park with a big playground, a separate BBQ area, lots of picnic tables and shelters and a sheltered swimming beach on a bay with shark nets. There is also a bike path nearby, although you are not allowed to ride bikes in playing/swimming/picnic area of Carss Park. There are lots of grass areas to spread out picnic rugs and have a sit down. The playground area is surrounded by trees so various parts of the playground are in shade at various times depending on the day and season. The playground has three different sets of equipment plus two "baby" swings, two "bigger kid" swings and a couple of rocking springs sitting on animals. One of the playground areas is small with easy steps and a small slide for littles. Another area has an easy-to-climb ramp with side-by-side small slides plus a bigger enclosed slide at one end and a few tunnels and bridges to walk across. The third set has two high, bumpy slides, a climbing rope and a long pole to slide down catering to older kids. In the middle of the three sets of equipment is a kind of raised boardwalk that the kids can run up and down and parents can sit on to watch kids from all areas (although it's not shaded so not so pleasant to sit on in summer - great in winter). The playground area is not fenced and there is a beach within the park, but it is about 75-100m away from the play equipment. The beach is on the George's River with no waves, and great for littles to play in the water. Sand can be a bit covered in seaweed and sticks/dirt etc if there's been rough weather recently etc. There are about a dozen gas BBQs in a BBQ area that is about 50-75m from the playground area. There are picnic tables and about 5-6 larger picnic shelters dotted across the park. Within the park is also the historic Carss Park Cottage, built by William Carss in the 1860's. You can stroll around the outside of it at any time or visit the museum inside it on Sunday and Public Holiday afternoons 1-5pm. On the outskirts of the park is a bike track that is about 400m long. From it, you can also join the 500m bike circuit of Todd Park which is adjacent to Carss Park. Carss Park is a very popular park at weekends and especially so in summer.
