Walking around the park, only a few minutes from Blacktown station, you could believe you are far from a large city.

Relaxing picnic areas, bbqs, waterplay area for young kids, basketball courts, open fields for footy, a great place for a family gathering .

Such a fun experience for my 3 year old daughter and the adults. Nice flat easy walking paths. My daughter walked the whole zoo. We got an annual pass and it is well worth the money. It’s great to have a zoo so close to home. The animals all look happy and healthy. I’ve told all my friends and work colleagues to check it out.

First time at drive in Sydney, and familiar with them as a kid. My partner grew up in the same era, but had never been. It was charming and fun. Worth the effort to get there and great value.

All under one roof you will find fresh fruit and vegetables, pet shop, nursery, bakery, Deli, butcher, fresh seafood and a barber. Along side what you would normally see at a market like Paddy's. There is plenty of on-sight parking, toilets and ATM's. For lunch there is a variety of food trucks and food stores . Just a tip, its quite big so go to the information center and ask for a free map of the markets first. Do your rounds then get your groceries before you leave.
