Ol Civic park — that old chestnut! For people that live in the North East — mainly teenagers — know this place for ‘hanging out’ and bless, I once had a teenage date there. Home to the ‘Civic Park Spectacular’ which is a firework and music show with names such as Vanessa Amarosi and Guy Sebastian gracing the stage, Civic park does have great events for families. During the day there are outdoor fitness classes like Step Into Life and tai chi keeping the park lively and people gather there to play soccer, football or look like angsty teens. Civic park has always been well maintained and houses a small carpark, a playground and toilets — like any park, just be careful around them at night time!

I reckon I’ve spent a couple of hours here over the last few months, just walking around with the dog, enjoying the fresh air and stretching my legs while my better half does her shopping at Tea Tree Plaza. For me, the location has been pretty good. I usually grab some lunch from one of the bakeries not far away, and sit in the shade while I eat. The dog loves this place because she’s usually spent a couple of hours in the car by the time I’ve gotten here and she’s dying to get out and have a run too. It’s probably a good spot for dads to kick the footy with their kids.

This is a pretty good park, as far as parks go. I often found myself sitting sown here with a good book when I was staying nearby. It is great being able to sit under a big tree and forget about the bad day your having. As Laura pointed out, the playground is pretty good, and seems a popular choice for mums with young kids. The size of the park means there can be people playing sport, or whatever, and you are far enough that you wont be bothered.

Huge park located at the site of the Tea Tree Gully Council and library. Sferas function centre and a café are also on the park. Civic park is a huge grassed area with a slight hill on 1 side, lots of trees, paths, a playground and events held throughout the year. The park is larger than most, so perfect for playing large games as an adult like soccer or footy. The playground is pretty cool, shady and always popular for Mums to meet at with their kids. The events here include carols by candlelight, old car meetings and a free moonlight cinema which is always full of deck chairs and beanbags. There is some parking on site, the obahn and unlicensed transport nearby and right across the road is Tea Tree Plaza, one of the largest shopping centers in the state.
