Newington Nature Reserve
This walk begins with a stroll along the Parramatta River and ends in an old armory. It’s an easy stroll, suitable for families with children who will love the nearby playground up the hill in Blaxland Riverside Park.
Parramatta Park
This is a loop walk around the perimeter of the park but you’ll no doubt find yourself stepping off the trail to explore some of the park’s history, its wildlife, and more.
Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan
The Australian Botanic Garden is a 416-hectare parkland, scattered with woodlands, wetlands and wide open spaces. There is plenty here to attract locals and out-of-towners alike.
Central Valley loop Walk
This walking trail is located in the middle of the Australian Botanic Gardens in Mount Annan. It’s only a short walk but is a great introduction to the Gardens as a whole.
Parramatta Lake Trail
The Parramatta Lake Trail is a loop track, or a few tracks really though the longer yellow track is the one outlined here. If you have the time, pack a picnic and make a day of it. There are BBQ facilities, a dedicated swimming area, playgrounds and free parking.
