About Bareena Park

Tennis Courts at Bareena Park

Bareena Park has five synthetic grass tennis courts, operated by the Bareena Park tennis club. The courts have lights for evening play, and the lights switch on only when a court is booked. Courts can be booked online through the club's booking system, with members playing free and non-members paying an hourly rate. Social tennis runs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9am to midday under a Court Captain, and summer twilight sessions use Courts 4 and 5 from 5:30 pm until dark. The club also fields teams in the Northern Beaches competition and seeks recruits from the Balgowlah and Manly area.

Lawn Bowls Green at Bareena Park

Bareena Park has a bowling green, and its lawn bowls facilities sit among shady grass areas. The bowling green shares the grounds with the park's tennis club, so lawn bowls and tennis both take place in one recreational setting. The lawn bowls area is one of the park's two main sporting facilities, alongside its five synthetic grass tennis courts. The shady grass areas give the bowling green a shaded setting for play and watching.

Giant Koi Fish Slide at Bareena Park

Bareena Park now features a giant koi fish slide, a large play structure for children visiting the park. Bareena Park also has a climbing rope feature, which gives children an active climbing option alongside the slide. The play equipment sits among shady grass areas within the park. Both pieces of equipment are listed among the park's current features, making them the main play options for children at the park.
