Insider tips

Book camping and barbecue facilities well in advance, especially during the spring bloom and summer holiday weekends.

Check the local river level warnings if visiting during the rainy season, as the low-lying areas can be subject to temporary access restrictions.

What to avoid

Attempting to use park facilities without a prior reservation for camping or sports courts.

Good to know

Closed on Tuesdays if the day follows a national holiday; periodic closures for grounds maintenance are common in late winter.
