Hey, that's not far from me! Some nice spots down there by the lake, but maybe not so much behind all the restaurants. If you had gone a little further in John Knight park, then you would have got to the creek area with lots of rocks, ponds, and a flowing (pumped) creek. There is also a nice little island there in the Casuarina trees. Diddams close is also nice as a family picnic area, but John Knight park is the pick. Cheers, (oh and I hate that ugly tower they've built next to the mall - so out of place)
