Just an hour from Sydney, there’s a water-filled family escape waiting to make your summer a whole lot more fun. Campbelltown Billabong Parklands brings together water play, pools, shaded picnic areas, BBQ facilities and open lawns in a lush, family-friendly setting. This summer there’s even more to enjoy, with a Christmas party, a reptile zoo visit, a New Year’s Eve fireworks celebration and weekly scavenger hunts.

Conveniently located near Campbelltown CBD, this four-hectare recreation precinct is designed for families to settle in and enjoy a full day outdoors. Book a shaded hut, fire up the BBQ, let the kids play in the splash park or cool off in the pools. With so much to do in one spot, the Billabong is the place to be this summer.

Since opening in June 2024, the Billabong Parklands has quickly become a favourite destination. Located on the corner of The Parkway and Moore-Oxley Bypass in Bradbury, it’s the perfect spot to spend a summer day with family and friends.

Make A Splash At The Billabong Parklands

The splash park is made for little water lovers, featuring hand-sculpted rocks, rockpools, water fountains and water play equipment, with plenty of opportunities to splash and cool off. When it’s time for a swim, families can enjoy the Billabong’s accessible pools.

The children’s pool features a shallow beach entry, water fountains and accessible ramp access to a depth of 1 metre. The larger Billabong pool ranges from 1 to 1.8 metres deep and includes accessible ramp access, with a cascading waterfall.

More Than Just Pools and Water Play

Planning a family catch-up or getting the extended crew together? Campbelltown Billabong Parklands has everything you need for a great day outdoors.

Book a picnic hut and settle in under the shade, with tables, seating and plenty of nearby space to enjoy. Shade sails, umbrellas and leafy trees provide plenty of spots to escape the summer sun while the kids explore and play.

Feeling hungry? Make use of the two undercover BBQ areas and enjoy a relaxed lunch with family and friends. Alternatively, stop by the Billabong Café, now open and serving a range of food and refreshments, perfect for a quick break between activities.
