 Parts of the park are affected by weed infestations, such as Fiddens Wharf and Fairyland.The central section of the park, between De Burghs Bridge on Ryde Road and Fullers Bridge, was set aside as a park in the 1920s and developed with picnic areas interspersed in the bush along the banks of the river.The majority of these picnic areas are located between the Fuller's Road bridge and the road that leads towards the Tourist Park.
