Como
Yet another park and playground area on the water. There is a small swimming pool for the kids and also a netted off swimming area in the river. There is a bike track that goes arouond the outside of the park and you can walk or ride your bike across the old railway bridge over the water. There is also a nice cafe :) Anywhere you go in Sydney there is a nice cafe, its very much part of the culture to sit and enjoy your coffee.
Darling Harbour
In the Darling Harbour area of Sydney they have recently built a wonderful park for the kids. Ther is a splash park and a playground. It is surrounded by nice eateries and entertainment, lots of fun for the kids.

Gunnamatta Park
Another beautiful place is the bay side of Cronulla. It has a great playground for the kids, nice grass picnic areas and picnic sheds and clear, calm water for the kids. I actually learnt to swim here. The swimming area is surrounded by nets although it doesn't stop the jellyfish :) We used to have lessons at 7am and I remember it being freezing! Once you could jump in and swim the length of the pontoon you got a certificate to say you could swim. Now, picture being a little kid jumping off a high pontoon into black water where you couldn't see the bottom. It was cold, and yes, you might hit the odd jellyfish. I remember crying and refusing to go into my lessons. As an adult i can see why!! I eventually did learn to swim and that day my instructor and I swam from the pontoon into the beach.
