• Hours:The best times would be between 5pm and 7pm.
  
  However, there is activity pretty much all day (a little quiet between 2pm and 4pm), and since it is never locked up, there is action all night (I have even had encounters here up to 1:30am).
• Cruising Info/ Tips:When you arrive, scan the cars parked on the street and you will see guys waiting in their cars/trucks. This probably means that the block is empty. Wait for a guy to go in and follow, or head in first and he will appear pretty quickly.
  
  Again, it can get busy so groups of 3 or 4 are pretty common. If you want one on one or a , then it is best to wait until they are done.
  
  There is a real mix of guys here. Your usual old dudes are fairly common, but there are some real hotties hitting this spot (best I have ever come across). I had a great encounter with a very adventurous biker type here the other night.
  Cruisiest Spots: cruiser adds 9/22/2008: If the toilet is busy late at night, as it can get with the warm Sydney weather, there are 2 spots at the bottom of the park. 1 is in the bushes along the bottom perimter fence and the other is along the Canal (same area as the fence). The second area has a hidden entrace which leads to a secluded bushy area with lots of rom to move around. Both areas are not very private during the day as the bush is not dense enough.
• Nudity / Policy:I wouldn't recommend full nudity during the day or on the weekend, but as this place is very secluded after sundown, then it shouldn't be a problem.
  
  If you do want to strip off, then heading off deeper into the park late at night would be your best bet. You won't meet any guys down there though (you will have to head down there with the guy you meet in the cubicle). Down by the train line is the best for this - and good if you want to (if you are worried about getting sprung in the cubicle) - but after dark ONLY!!
• Wheelchair Accessible:No / No Handicap Facilities - but the cubicle is pretty big.
• Warnings:The door to the only cubicle does NOT lock (or even close very well) and as the block is so small, anyone who walks in the door could see you pretty quickly. You can hear footsteps first - so you do have a few seconds. With that said, pretty much everyone heading in the door is there for the same reason you are...
  
  Take care on weekends as the park can often have families around. Sometimes, the whole park can even be packed. I would highly recommend avoiding cruising if that is the situation.
  
  The light does not go on at all - so at night it is very dark inside. If you are choosy, then this can make that a little difficult, so try waiting outside first, and heading in once you see the right guy. If you are not fussy, then it can be really fun (especially when there is more than one other guy groping around).
