Nurragingy Reserve Water Park

The Nurragingy Reserve is a beautiful 63 hectare lush reserve in Doonside that’s known for its natural bushland and many family-friendly picnic and BBQ areas. 

 

 

The interactive water play park is specifically location on the Wren Picnic area just south of the Colebee Centre in Nurragingy Reserve.

 The water play area itself has a large windmill, a water wall spray fountain, jets, cannons and bucket dumpers — all of them dispersing water – partially covered in a sail shade.

It’s open daily from 10am to 3.30pm during spring and autumn, while hours will be extended to 9am to 6.30pm in summer. The water park is closed in winter.

Car and bus parking are available inside the Reserve in designated parking areas. It is a short walk from Doonside Railway Station, down Cross Street and across Knox Road.

While you're there check out the Chang Lai Yuan Chinese Gardens, a beautiful architecturally designed garden located within Nurragingy Reserve. It features a stunning Gateway, Seven Arch Stone Bridge, Light Mountain Pavilion and Waterfall Gazebo. 

 

Adding to the allure of Nurragingy Reserve is the remarkable Wawai Ngurra inclusive adventure playspace, a pioneering playground designed to cater to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Officially the largest playspace under the council's management, it's a collaborative effort involving the NSW Government, Variety Livvi’s Place, and the Greater Sydney Landcare Network. The playspace boasts a variety of unique features, including a customised elevated walkway, accessible swings, slides, musical instruments, a trampoline, a sand table, quiet areas for relaxation, and an engaging play sculpture.

One of its standout elements is the elevated walkway, which rises 3.5 metres above the ground, leading to a top platform with netting for an immersive experience amidst the eucalypt bushland. Additionally, the playspace offers Changing Places facilities, numerous disability parking spaces, and a variety of accessible furniture, ensuring a welcoming and inclusive environment for all visitors.
