About Timbrell Park
Livvi's Place Playground at Timbrell Park
Timbrell Park contains Livvi's Place, an all-abilities playground established in 2009 by the Touched by Olivia Foundation and City of Canada Bay Council and reinvented in 2016 with Moduplay equipment. The equipment includes an all-inclusive SkyRider with a basket seat, custom rope tunnels, Nature Play equipment and a mound slide, all over softfall. Livvi's Place is fully fenced with a single entrance and exit. Livvi's Cafe sits right beside the playground as an accessible coffee and food kiosk with outside tables.
Off-Leash Dog Area at Timbrell Park
Timbrell Park has an off-leash dog area in its designated western end. The area is completely unfenced and opens straight onto the Bay Run, a 7-kilometre shared walking and cycling path around Iron Cove that is very busy throughout the day. The off-leash area therefore suits owners who are comfortable letting their dogs run in unfenced space beside shared path traffic.
