About Walter Williamson Park
Playground and Bike Track at Walter Williamson Park
Walter Williamson Park has a playground with a shade structure over its play equipment. The play equipment includes swing sets, climbing structures, slides and platforms, all set over soft-fall ground covering that helps cushion falls. A junior bike track surrounds the playground, and children use it for bikes, skateboards and scooters. Park seats placed near the playground let adults keep watch over children on both the equipment and the track at once.
Open Lawn at Walter Williamson Park
Walter Williamson Park is a large grassed open space dotted with mature trees. Those trees give natural shade across the lawn on warm days. The open grass leaves plenty of room for ball games and batting practice, so groups can spread out away from the playground. The park was renamed in honour of the late Walter Williamson OAM, a much-loved community member who lived in Maroubra for over 50 years.
