As part of the sprawling Western Sydney Parkland nature space, Lizard Log park is often overlooked in favour of its bigger, brighter cousins. As such, the park is generally a quiet one in comparison to the other better known areas, and is a quiet, relaxing space to enjoy nature with less people around.

Lizard Log playground sprawls through the natural landscape, with features designed to blend into the bush. The park as a result is full of surprises, with hidden features waiting to be discovered while running through the various paths among the trees.

Our favourite feature was the sand pit area with logs and ropes for balancing. We made challenges to see who could get through the circuit quickest.
