Como NSW
Como
Como is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales. It is located 15 kilometers southwest of the Sydney central business district and is part of the St George area. The population was 1,837 at the 2016 census.
The word “como” means “resting place” or “serene spot”. It appears to be an Aboriginal word from north-eastern NSW and southern Queensland meaning a shady place near water where people camped after travelling long distances by foot.
The first land grant in the Como area was made to Captain John Connellan in 1827. He called his property “Como Farm”. The original house, built about 1830, still stands and is heritage-listed.
Today, Como, NSW is a mainly residential suburb with some light industry. It is home to a large aged care facility, the largest in NSW.

Nice casual place to hang out, picnic, bring the kids. Nice on a summers night. Parking can be a bit ugh though. If picnicking, ring a trolley or buggy to transport your stuff in case you don’t get a park close. Nice lights in the park Jan 2022

Love this place. Great for walking and kids playground. Older kids and adults on bikes and playing cricket can make it feel a little precarious at times though

Nice and calm place. There are two BBQ areas. One at the entrance, another one uphill. There is small but clean free of charge swimming pool. You can also swim in the river. There are shark nets installed for your peace of mind. Toilets are reasonably maintained.

Great place for kids. The mulch stays wet for quite a time after rainy day. Thats the only negative.

Great for even very young kids. Has a large shade sail and sand stone blocks as a small retaining wall, which was fine to sit on, as there was only one seat.

Very pleasant bushy place for a picnic with some fun facilities for the kids, ducks & Rocky hills to climb. A few more covered tables would be good as it’s very busy on weekends

Excellent for kids from 2.5 years and up but not quite suitable for the really little ones.
It’s a new park so it does get quite busy.
Highly recommended.

Nice reserve to walk your dog. From the car park till the small pond. There is a bigger grassy area in the middle. Bowl with the water tap as well.
We definitely will return here again with our dog.

Awesome off lead dog area. The elongated park layout means you can go for a decent length walk from the carpark down to a little water hole at the end of the park.
Note that the first half of the park (north end) is technically NOT off lead and council rangers have been known to frequent the area and hand out fines.
