NearMeBest walking trails in Seven Hills
Last updatedGrantham Reserve is the walk to choose in Seven Hills, with a circuit around the main oval and a concrete track around the sports ovals. International Peace Park and Orana Park are the other two walks worth knowing, and they differ mostly in how much of the route follows Blacktown Creek. Grantham is the one with a loop and the most to stop at along the way.
Quick picks
- Loop walk: Grantham Reserve, where the circuit round the main oval can be repeated.

Grantham Reserve: the loop with fitness stations along it
- 0.6 km
- Loop
- Paved
- Toilets
- Parking
Grantham Reserve has two routes: a circuit of roughly 530 m round the main oval and a 600 m concrete track that wraps the sports ovals. Fitness stations line the route, and you can go round as many times as you have the energy for. Shade is thin on the walk itself, so pack a hat. Amenities are on site, a short walk from the picnic and BBQ area, and parking is on the street nearby. Rugby and baseball share the ovals, so expect company when games are on.

International Peace Park: a short route beside Blacktown Creek
- 0.6 km
- Toilets
- Parking
International Peace Park's walking route is 0.4 miles, about 0.6 km, and it runs beside Blacktown Creek with a bike path alongside. There is no fitness equipment and no loop is stated, so it suits a short stroll rather than a circuit. Parking spreads across several lots off Jean Street. A toilet is available, but only when sporting events are on. Keep an eye out for lorikeets, cockatoos, possums and wallabies along the way.
Short strolls, and anyone who wants to spot wildlife along the creek.
Orana Park: tracks that follow Blacktown Creek
- Toilets
- Parking
Orana Park's walking tracks spread through the whole park and pass the sports grounds, so Orana works as a route rather than a single path. Blacktown City Council lists four ways in, from Wall Park Avenue, Hayes Road, James Street and Blacktown Road, and the path walks follow Blacktown Creek. The on-site car park is free. Its toilets are frequently locked, so plan around that. The details on file give no length or surface, so check the tracks yourself before a longer walk.

How we picked
Scores weigh track length, loops, the surface, shade, toilets and parking, and park size adds a little. We looked at what each walk offers a person on foot, so a park with no track is never a pick. Where the text is silent, the table shows a dash instead. A walk with too little on record is left out of the write-ups and still listed in the table.
