Lizard Log is a recreational precinct within the Western Sydney Parklands designed around sustainable water management and active play. It features a nature-based playground that incorporates climbing walls, oversized swings, and balancing equipment made from natural materials.

It offers multiple covered picnic shelters equipped with electric barbecues. The landscape design emphasizes native reforestation and open green spaces suitable for group gatherings.
