Beautiful. They offer great creative workshops (bookings via council site). You can book stores for parties. They have a function room which is great (and store conditioned). Highly recommend

A lovely hidden treasure in arms reach of Sydney’s CBD, offer numerous tracks that are ideal for people looking for an easy to medium walking track. Whilst I’ve given the spot an overall score of 4 stars, parts of the walk are well worthy of 5 stars. It just has about of suburban elements in their like playgrounds, fences etc that take away the natural environment. Watch out for leeches along the trails, we needed to stop are remove leeches along the walk. Parking is eas.

I walked 🚶‍♀️ around here a little while ago. The Senses track 👣 is one of several tracks 👣 in the gardens. It's a short walk near the visitors centre. This track has plenty of signs with information about the surrounding area.

A sign that says "Senses of Place" is displayed on a tree.

Perfect place for events and gatherings and hikes. The welcome center has cute botanical gifts for sale and a native plants nursery out back. Out front they have labelled plants in water showing you what's in bloom for the season. Lots of unique landscapes to explore and so much space for kids and hikes. The public restroom by the pavilion was tiled with hand painted native plants and I loved the details. (:

This was the view from the toilet. A very enjoyable experience especially considering I hate public toilets.
Native seedlings and mature plants for sale out back of the visitor centre. Reasonable prices.

This place is underrated and it will be my go to place with kids. Plenty of green space, benches and shelters for families to enjoy. There's a pram friendly trail and other more challenging trails.
