Elizabeth MacArthur Park for a paved walk beside the creek
- Paved
- Parking
Elizabeth MacArthur Park has the most solid footing of any walk in Kellyville. Its paved walking and cycling paths follow Elizabeth MacArthur Creek and continue beyond the park, so a short stroll can grow into a longer one without changing route. The surfaces at the other walks aren't described, which makes this the only one with a confirmed paved path. Parking is available at the park, and dogs must stay on a leash.
Rutherford Avenue Reserve for a shaded stroll over the waterways
- Shade
- Parking
Rutherford Avenue Reserve is the pick when you want shade and something to look at on the way. Its walking routes wind through native plantings and waterways and cross a pedestrian bridge, and shaded rest spots sit at regular intervals along them. Cycleways and footpaths also run across the village green, so you can choose between the grass and the paved edges. There are no public toilets on site, so plan that before you set out. Parking is on the street along Rutherford Avenue.
Cumberland Plains Woodlands for a bush walk under the canopy
- Shade
Cumberland Plains Woodlands is the choice when you want bush rather than pavement. Several tracks run through woodland of grey box and forest red gum, and the canopy shades the tracks as you go. Nothing here is paved, so the walk suits sturdy shoes, but the length of each track isn't known. Dogs come on a lead only, and the walk makes a calm outing for anyone who wants to see native trees up close.

How we picked
Each walk was scored on what is known about its track, from length and loops to surface, shade, toilets, parking and reserve size. A gap shows as a dash, so a missing loop or length never counts for or against a park. Walks with too little detail to compare on their own are left out of the picks, and they still appear in the table.
