Park Facilities

Mannering Park is on Vales Point, a northerly oriented point of land at the very southern end of Lake Macquarie.

BIG4 Lake Macquarie Monterey Tourist Park is located on the east side of the point, on Chain Valley Bay. To the west of Vales Point is Wyee Bay. At the northern end of BIG4 Lake Macquarie Monterey Tourist Park waterfront reserve, our jetty is popular for throwing in a line or romantic strolls.

Conveniently located at the southern end of the waterfront reserve, the boat ramp has guide poles at each side, a fish cleaning table and the waterfront has plenty of convenient tie-rings. For water which is always clear, no matter what the lake conditions, BIG4 Lake Macquarie Monterey Tourist Park salt water pool is water-tested daily, fully fenced with a safety gate and right next to the playground.

Our BBQ facilities provide a great social spot for midday or evening get togethers.

By Forpark Australia, the playground features a spiral slide, curved slide, suspension bridge, kaleidoscope panel, tunnel, "shop front", net climber, helix climber, tower with steering wheel and spider pole. It is brightly coloured, designed and manufactured to meet Australian standards.
Lake Macquarie is a fantastic playground for canoeing, fishing, water-skiing or just put-puttering about in a dinghy trying your luck with the fish.

Within a short walking distance are: post office, take-away shop, video shop, hairdresser/beautician, paper shop, bottle shop, and chemist. If you need something which is not available in Mannering Park it is only a 15 minute drive to Lake Haven shopping Centre with Coles, Woolworths, K-Mart, Best & Less and a variety of specialty shops. Morisset Golf Club is close by, and it is only a short drive to golf courses at Toukley, Wyong, Belmont, Bateau Bay, Shelleys Beach and Forresters Beach.
