The Cascades - (NSW)

Sachith Weligepola Small walk (15-20 minutes one way) that overlooks the valley. You can see the power pylons on one side and the other side is all green! Amazing!

Anne Dunn Great place for kids birthday parties. Totally recommend. Bring bikes and scooters. BBQ and toilet facilities. Bring your own shade for sunny days.

Brandon Great for a leisurely mountain bike or hike. Just be aware the trail back to Acron oval is quite steep. Either way, its worth all the serenity, beautiful Aussie nature, and the actual cascades are peaceful and beautiful. You will likely have to bike or cross a couple of foot-high creeks so have appropriate shoes. A great escape from the city around it.

Daithí Kilcourse A very nice park with a lot of access points to lookouts, bike trails and hikes. There seems to be a lot of people on bikes here and with a lot of narrow hiking tracks it can be dangerous. Be aware of the bikes and they normally shout out on approach. Some tough and easy trails to do here. Amazing lookouts located in the park too. Some give you a view of the city. We will be back again.

Simon Furber Park up in Douglas St and then about 100m walk to some flat rocks where you Lookout and see Chatwood and Sydney set against the backdrop of the national forest. Quite so.e unique view. Its worth stopping if youre in the area, the terrain isnt to challenging, and ita a short walk for a great view

Vishal Sawant Peaceful place by the water with lush greens around. Best part of the park is the parking spaces being so close to the picnic spits. Was easy for my parents to access the spots closer to the water.
