Great place for kids, young and old to play and just kick a ball around. The playground is ideal for toddlers to hang out and it's fenced off, so safe for them too. Plenty of open space on the grass and a small basketball practice area too. The top and bottom areas both have a circular track for practicing cycling with the smaller kids.

Fantastic local park just off Milton Road East. Large grass area with football goals. Really good enclosed children's play area too. Popular with dog walkers.

Pleasant enough little park, often quiet. Has a small play park and fields for ball games plus a great slope for preschoolers sledding.

It has grass and swings and the like, and it is indeed in Joppa, so 2/3. The quarry facilities left something to be desired though. I only wanted 1 or 2 hundred tons of sandstone, but the entrance wasn't wide enough for my excavation equipment. They also frown on open face blasting.
