Tusmore Park Wading Pool is fast becoming a favourite spot for visitors to cool down.

The design features a fully fenced and shaded wading pool, lawned areas for picnics, a new creek style section, tiered seating and water play equipment for plenty of splashing and playing during the summer months.

A few points worth mentioning:

  • It’s fully fenced!! Hoorah!
  • It’s unsupervised which means there’s NO lifeguard on duty – so pretty please keep an eye on your kids while they’re in the water.
  • It’s open sunrise to sunset.
  • No bookings required.
  • and best of all, it’s FREE!

Tusmore Park is a gorgeous spot in the Eastern suburbs with plenty of room for picnics, birthday parties and weekend BBQs. As well as the fabulous wading pool there’s a nearby playground, tennis court, toilets and a gorgeous creek running right through the middle.
