i missed council consultation, so like to put my comment here. i hope the park has more rubber areas for kids to play. hope to see table and benches under the cover, so people can have bbq and eat, without share space with the birds. exercise equipment can be dot around the side of the park to encourage people to walk. as to kid play area, set 2 areas, one of little ones but another for older children. consider if the park being great, the surrounding business is a boom, like strathfield park, once completed, even the ice cream van comes as well to serve people. so it will be good for surrounding businesses. people play then need to eat.

Hollywood Parks describes this park as " A beachfront park in Hollywood's South Beach area. Keating's shade trees provide a welcome respite from the South Florida sun for families enjoying the beach. Park amenities include benches, a children's slide and restrooms." This postage stamp size park sits nestled between towering Condos at the end of Magnolia Terrace, a short street linking it to S. Ocean Drive. There is metered parking available on this street. City bus and the Hollywood trolley (stop 7) stop at the intersection where the park sign is.

The original location of Bankstown Council and its predecessors, is now the Paul Keating Park. A beautiful memorable park for locals and café owners and their visitors. This park brings back so many memories since my school days spent at the old Bankstown Library, browsing catalogues and learning how to use the very first computers, when library cards were used as photo I.Ds and mobile phones were yet to become popular amongst the youth of today.

Bankstown is surrounded by parks and trees. Right at the center is this park, named after Mr. Paul Keating, a former Prime Minister, who came from this area. Popular park hosting all outdoor activities of the local communities. It features a kid's playground. The Bankstown-Canterbury Council, the library, the cinema, Central shopping centre, Little Saigon, train station, bus terminal, and soon Metro, all around the corner.

Great place to seat and take in the view plus let the kids by their balls game. Also great place to seat and drink coffee on a sunny day and listen to the birds chirp in the trees above while relaxing. You can get to Paul Keating Park by foot for the train or foot for Bankstown Centro Bus and you can drive your car and park it at the Paul Keating Park carpark or at Bankstown library.

  • Sabina Jusufspahic

Being across from Council Chambers I expected this Park to be kept nice and clean. Tons of dried leaves. Obviously it wasn't cleaned RECENTLY. Unfortunately it is neither clean or nice. I believe that such a politician and statesman as Paul Keating DESERVE a lot nicer and a lot bigger Park than the current one. What a disappointment …

  • Andrew Jens

The park is small but seems to be the meeting place for lots of families. There's play equipment for kids and an ampitheatre (although I've not seen an event using it). The surrounds are nice (with the nearby trees), and there are plenty of places to get takeaway to eat in the park.

  • Imad Ali

Paul Keating park wow what a name Nice all round there is plenty to do in the park it seams small but when you experience the park you will understand the size of it . You got one side of the park is all knowledge and the other is relaxing playing well designed

  • Vince D

This is quite a nice community park which is large enough to host festivals and large scale events. The grass and gardens are always well looked after trimmed. I do recommend this community park if anyone feels like going to a normal community park.

  • Briggs Jourdan

A peaceful, green space in the heart of the Bankstown civic precinct. Its closeness to everything, links to each of the shopping centres and accessibility via public transport make this an excellent and clean gathering space for its residents.

  • Tina Vrontas

Fabulous concert by the SSO. First time in Bankstown. Council should utilise this area for regular free musical events every weekend. Shame it's not designed for such. The mobile steel fencing is so uninviting.

  • Miss Bliss

Go here regularly with my four year old. The other day l attended the free bankstown children's festival in the grass area of the park .My child loved all the rides and various activities and performances

  • Meek Acumen

It's a pleasant Park amidst the busy streets and large buildings. Nice for families and always entertaining. The addition of the new library is very welcoming and makes the whole place look modern.

  • Bridget Duffy

Nice, fairly large, fairly clean open space of grass with an adjacent park, tree lined path, and right in front of the library. Cafes and shop close by. Decorated brightly for this time of year.

  • Belal Dakkak

Great family oriented park with cafes close by, perfect for that sunny weekend morning of the children playing while sipping coffee and socializing.
Playground
Good for toddlers and kids

  • kat ahmed

This park has changed alot over the years updated with cafes just literaly opposite the park which is so convenient if u wana have a coffee or a feed n the kids r safe playing right front of u

  • Glenn Wright

Nice relaxing atmosphere infront of the Bankstown education precinct, great place to study and unwind. Small play equipment for the little ones offto the side and in a central location.

  • Kamarul Amin

This park is always full of activities. Located st the heart of bankstown city. Strategic place as near to bankstown central and library. Have an outdoor playground even for disabled.

  • Kruben Media

Awsome park to take this kids to if your in Bankstown! It's near the station, Cinema and also McDonald's is only 2 mins up the road! And Bankstown Square is across the road.

  • Adler E

I'm posting for the cafe, not the park. The cafe is a healthy option for all sorts of foodies, vegetarian, gluten free, protein, vegan diets. Excellent coffee and service.

  • Melissa Fannin

Its great for little ones as the ground is patted, but I'd give 3 stars cause it is dirty and is near a corner where cars fly around would be great if it was fully fenced

  • Adnan khan

Its a good small park adjacent with library and a big ground with a running track. It has slides and swings for kids. There are public washrooms and coffee shops nearby.

  • Kenewa Gamanga

Paul Keating Park is figuratively a bridge between the maddening crowd of Bankstown City and the serene academic setting of the Bankstown Library... A cooling off area.

  • Luis Vigliante (Marcelo)

The park isn’t too bad and always fun for the kids. Shame some people are just filthy and inconsiderate leaving their rubbish behind which attracts a lot birds.

  • Khondaker Haque

It was one of the best places in Bankstown. But the new University under construction is going to ruin this beautiful place. It's going to be too crowded.

  • R Kaysar

The kids play area needs a massive refurbishment given its looks 100 years old. The park requires better lighting, particularly around daylight savings

  • Amr Samir

No shades and the public toilet is a myth ... not as good as other parks in sydney ... paramatta park .. hyde park ... parks in the hills area …

  • Dexter Duncan

This park has kids play area, open field and is next to the Library. They often have events booked and it used to be a great place to catch Pokemon!

  • Kaled Bakr

I visit when im in Bankstown, for a break, unwind a little! Play area for my grandchildren. Restaurants and shops nearby, its an entertaining treet!

  • Nabeel Alkhalidy

Has kids rides and a place for them to run around and ride your bike. Has night lights which makes visibility good for evening jogs.

  • Josh Lazenby

Large open area, decent parking nearby. The play area isn't the best, but it's okay. Lots of Pokestops if that's what you're into.

  • Jasmeen Malhotra

Nice peaceful park, clean toilets, no disturbances. Not big or nice enough for a picnic but good for a quiet sit down with a book.

  • Sam Samadi

Good place for kids and there parents The only downside is the gathering of young teenage girls smoking with much much older guys

  • S. Haider Hassan Rizvi

Good place to hang out with kids. Needs a bit more lighting at nights but is generally secure due to police presence nearby.

  • Michael Vu

Great spot to take the kids as theres a shaded playground and the park area is spaceous enough to get your kids to run wild

  • Syed Altaf Hussain Kazmi

Has a children's park, library, a coffee shop, lots of benches, trees, birds all around, vast lawns and what have you.

  • Bob Fossil

Paul no where to be seen, if I had paid money for entry, I would of demanded it back. Grass was well maintained though

  • Mahmoud Al-Farouky

A small park that the kids love but that falls into disrepair frequently. Probably because it's a high traffic area.
