Tench reserve south playground

Right on the edge of the Nepean River, this spot is one of those places locals keep coming back to for a reason. The paved paths make it easy to get around with a pram or wheelchair, and there’s enough open grass to kick a ball around or just sprawl out with a blanket. Picnic tables and benches mean you can actually settle in for a proper afternoon rather than eating off your lap. The water nearby gives the whole place a relaxed feel — it’s the kind of park where you end up staying longer than you planned.
