About Marsden Park
Wetlands and Watercourse at Marsden Park
Marsden Park is built around a watercourse that was modified to create wetlands, ornamental ponds and cascades. Two lakes and a water spout sit within the park, and the park also includes a piece of natural bushland. This naturalistic setting contrasts with the structured, ordered open space elsewhere in the park, because the masterplan mixes informal and formal treatments for different users. Marsden Park's water features give the park its distinct character within Campbelltown.
Children's Playground at Marsden Park

Its play spaces are secure and gated, so young children can play inside a contained area. Parents can keep an eye on the playground from the seating areas spread through Marsden Park, which makes the play zone easy to supervise during a longer visit.
