Lovely spot to have a walk and look at ducks and birds.
The real gem of this park is the Doocot, which was a plague kiln in the 16th century. Has a little informational sign and is a fabulous part of history!
The playground is a perfectly fine playground.

A gem of a park with a key place in cricket history. Contains a nice playground, lovely pool and oval. Skip the cafe at the playground and go to The Pig&Pastry adjoining the park for proper food and drink.
Okay, cricket history, you ready? Petersham oval is where Don Bradman scored his first century in grade cricket (St. George vs Randwick/Petersham). It also has a mural commemorating Molly Flaherty, the first female fast bowler in test cricket.
It also has a lovely historic gazebo. And check out the street library, two, actually!
And, as of that weren't enough to make you enjoy this gem of a park, read the signage about dogs. It's fabulous.
It's truly hard to believe this park is one block from Parramatta Rd, it feels like you're somewhere completely apart from the city.

The go-to Asian supermarket. It's not the one you hear recommended most often (That's Thai Kee in Market City), but New Yen Yen has a wider selection, in my opinion.
If you want 10 choices of LuoShiFen (river snails soup) or salted egg fish skin, this is your place.
There's a produce and refrigerated section, but I'd probably skip the produce.

🤣 Glossing over the hilarious commentary on swimming.
We came by on a boat with Bar Harbor Whale Watching.
In the olden days, keepers did everything needed to keep the lights on (literally!) as well as live basically self-sufficiently on the land. At one point, three families lived here, one family with 17 kids 😮
This is one of the larger islands, so the families had sheep and could grow vegetables. There is one slightly further out that literally is a small lighthouse on a rock, and the families from this island would ferry out their dirt so that line guy could have a potted plant 💕 Aww.
What do you think the resource is that they were shortest on? Fresh water, actually. Not only for the humans, but the fog horns that operated needed 70 tons of coal a summer to blow the foghorn, which also needed steam (i.e. fresh water). The foghorns were important because in extreme fog, ships can't see the light, but they can hear the horn.
