Lion’s Park on Gosford Waterfront overlooks Brisbane Water and has to be one of the most picturesque parks on the Coast.
You’ll find a cute rocking dolphin, a spinner, a double swing set (with a bucket and regular swing), and a cool play structure complete with a balance beam, slippery dip, rope net, and fireman’s pole.
A bike/scooter path circles the entire park and grassed area and makes for a nice track for new riders. Plus, there’s the walking path that circumnavigates Brisbane Water all the way to the Brian McGowan Bridge (and beyond) for people looking for a long bike ride or stroller walk.
Feeling peckish? Coffee and snacks are available at Gosford Olympic Pool.Â
