Parks & Playground
Hornsby Park: The Incredible New Quarry Park You Need to See
If you’re looking for somewhere completely different to explore with the kids, Hornsby Park is one to add straight to your list. Just a short drive from Ryde, this brand-new park has just opened its first stage — and it’s already seriously impressive. Set inside a former quarry and surrounded by dramatic cliffs and an ancient volcanic landscape, it genuinely feels like you’ve stepped out of Sydney and into a bushland escape. Huge and packed with space to roam, it’s a refreshing change from your usual playground or oval — and if your kids love a bit of adventure, it’s absolutely worth the drive. [space_40] Huge Changes Hornsby Park is being transformed from a former quarry into a massive 60-hectare recreational space, blending bushland, history and open parkland. Once an industrial site where volcanic rock was crushed for use across Sydney, it’s now being reimagined as a place for families to explore, relax and take in the landscape. The result is a really unique setting where towering rock faces, native bush and wide-open space come together — not your typical suburban park, but somewhere that feels like a proper adventure.

The Best Local Water Parks
When the weather warms up, you’ll want to know where to find the best local water parks! The great thing about these spots is they’re all free - and each one also has a playground for some dry fun between splashes. [space_20] Putney Water Park Pellisier Road, Putney Parking: Car park and street parking Shelter: Sunshades over the water area plus many mature trees Toilets: Yes It's not the newest water park on the list, but this one has a great paddle pool for toddlers and a slide for the older kids, too. There isn't a lot of seating inside the water park or much by way of interactive water features, so consider bringing some buckets to keep little ones busy. Afterwards, you might enjoy a picnic on the huge grassy area overlooking the Parramatta River, or head to the new Putney Beach for a paddle! [space_40] Dundas Water Park Corner of Yates Road and Quarry Road, Dundas Parking: Street parking Shelter: Sunshades over the water area and some tree shade Toilets: Yes, across the grass field This neat water park is great fun for kids with water spraying from every which direction, tipping buckets and rings that kids LOVE running through.
