Sydney Live Steam Locomotive Society (rear entrance) - West Ryde (NSW)

Judy CP Great park for all ages. Small, low play area for toddlers and bigger ones for bigger kids. Water pump and stepping stones. Lots of street parking. Can get very busy.

James Very interesting monument - like a puzzle you have to figure out.

Zijiang Yang Good NYE spot - gotta stand on the wall though if it pours you’re done

Charlie Beautiful view of the city from the top of the hill and lots of shade.

Sun Joy Darvall Park is a hidden gem in the suburbs, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the Ryde. The park is well-maintained, with lush greenery, tall eucalyptus trees, and plenty of open space for relaxation. One of the highlights of Darvall Park is its walking trails, which are perfect for a leisurely stroll or a refreshing jog. The trails wind through beautiful bushland, making it a great spot for nature lovers and bird watchers. There’s also a playground for kids and picnic areas with benches, making it an ideal place for families to enjoy a day outdoors. While the park is generally quiet and serene, it can get a bit muddy after rain, so wearing proper footwear is recommended. Parking is available nearby, but it might be limited during peak hours. Overall, Darvall Park is a wonderful place to unwind, connect with nature, and enjoy some fresh air. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful walk or a picnic spot, this park is definitely worth a visit.

Mark Anderson a perfect, skinny bit of parkland escape to wander through, at either side of the canal, some good, native, flowering plants, and a large family of friendly Crows, 2 Magpies, & 2 Cockatoos that hang around, & Ibis

Frank Li Very nice experience on the real steam train. If you go at a hot and sunny day, dont forget the sun cream.
