RELAX IN
THE SHIRE
Parks
Hornsby Shire is home to more than 130 beautiful parks and playgrounds, which are maintained to a high standard
and regularly renovated. These include:
Fagan Park, Galston
This large regional park contains lakes, a playground, circuit paths, picnic tables, barbecues, toilets and the
spectacular Garden of Many Nations. Every Spring it also plays host to the annual Bushland Festival, a celebration
of everything that’s great about Hornsby Shire.
Crosslands Reserve, Hornsby Heights
Accessed by a 2.5 kilometre gravel road at the end of Somerville Road, the reserve offers many great family
activities including picnicking and barbecues, bushwalking, camping, fishing, canoeing, bike riding or simply
admiring the beautiful natural scenery.
James Park, Hornsby
This recently refurbished park has something for the entire family, from the swing set and shaker mirror through
to the basketball half court and exercise equipment. There are also barbecues and a ping pong table.
Lilian Fraser Garden, Pennant Hills
This beautiful garden was donated to Hornsby Shire by Lilian Fraser, one of the first qualified female botanists
in Australia. It’s ideal for picnics or a peaceful walk, with guided tours available by appointment. Weddings,
christenings and small receptions also take place here.
