Mamma says visiting this park on the lake is a must for any true blue Westie. Gaze over the water and take a little time to unwind while your little (and big!) ones explore. The playground has great play equipment for little tykes through to bigger youngsters. There's a 3.5km walking and cycling track, new outdoor gym equipment, beginners skateboard area, exercise equipment and lots of grassy space to enjoy a quarrel-free outing with your fam and friends time and again. If you like to gaze out over water while your troops play, head to Altona Beach on your next family outdoor adventure

Mamma's special mention: On the first Sunday of the month Lions Club Sunday Market 8am - 2pm.

Set in scenic parkland alongside Cherry Lake, this market has something for everyone. Stalls include hand-knitted goods, plants (including orchids and ferns), clothing, souvenirs, confectionery, preserves, handmade wooden toys and furniture as well as secondhand treasures.
