About Portico Park
Playground at Portico Park
Portico Park has a small children's playground for young visitors, which makes the park suitable for families with small children. Seating throughout the park gives carers places to sit while supervising, and public toilets in the brick lavatory building are close by. Families wanting more extensive nature-based play equipment, with additional swings, slides and climbing structures, can head to nearby Valencia Park in Toongabbie.
Footpath and Lawns at Portico Park
Portico Park has a diagonal footpath running from the north-east to the south-west corner, widening into a large circular seating area at its centre. Timber benches line the footpath and sit near the fence boundary. Large grassed areas on either side of the main pathway are planted with several young Box trees, whose shade is still growing. The layout suits leisurely walks, rest stops and casual gatherings.
Dogs at Portico Park
Portico Park has no designated off-leash dog area, so dogs must stay on a leash. The footpaths and grassed areas at Portico Park suit leashed dog walks around the neighbourhood. Owners wanting an off-leash run can use nearby McCoy Park, which has an unfenced off-leash area in the basin at the end of Mimosa Avenue, suitable only for dogs with reliable recall.
