Somerville Park
Somerville Park in Eastwood just got a serious upgrade —It opens this Saturday and is so worth the drive!
The $4.7 million transformation has turned this already-loved local park into a proper destination for families. Yes, Eastwood sits just outside Western Sydney, but it’s close enough that it absolutely belongs on your list — especially with what’s on offer now.
the playground
The centrepiece is a district-scale accessible playground designed for kids aged 0 to 12. It’s skill and sensory-based, so it works well for a wide range of kids including those with additional needs. Expect climbing structures, swings, water play and abacus-style play elements. It’s the kind of playground where different ages can all find their thing without you having to referee.
sports & fitness
There’s a large oval used for cricket in summer and rugby union in winter, plus a mini field, multi-purpose sports courts and outdoor fitness equipment. There’s even a seniors fitness zone, which makes it genuinely useful for the whole family — grandparents included.
Accessibility
This is where Somerville Park really stands out. The upgrade has improved paths and accessibility throughout, with a fully accessible Changing Places facility on-site. The playground equipment includes inclusive options, making it one of the better accessible parks in the area.

picnic & bbq aREA
There are shaded picnic spots, BBQs, toilets and a car park — everything you need for a proper few hours out without having to pack everything including the kitchen sink.
getting there
The car park is accessed off Blaxland Road. You can only turn left into the car park and right coming out, so factor that in when you’re navigating.
