Toongabbie Reserve: flat paved paths for prams

  • Paved
  • Parking

Toongabbie Reserve is the walk to choose for an easy outing. Its paths are paved and relatively flat, so they suit prams, strollers and wheelchairs. The paths link to the Toongabbie Creek Walk, which means you can keep going along the creek if you want more distance. The reserve has free parking, with Toongabbie Railway Station close by. Keene Park and Ron Hill Park both have unpaved paths, so this is the one to pick when the surface matters most.

#2

Keene Park: a shaded walk on the old tramway

  • Shade
  • Parking

Keene Park is a shaded walk on the former Prospect Quarry Tramway Line. Mature eucalypts line the grassed pathways, so the walk stays cool on a warm afternoon. The park runs in a line, and you can join it from Targo Road, Teague Street, Linden Street or Harvey Place. The pathways are grass rather than paved, so Keene Park suits an unhurried stroll more than a pram. Toilets aren’t available in the park itself, and parking is on the street near Targo Road.

#3

Ron Hill Park: a bush walk beside Pendle Creek

  • Shade

Ron Hill Park is a small bush reserve on Cooyong Crescent, where walking paths run through the bushland beside Pendle Creek. The trees shade the paths, which makes it a pleasant stop on a warm day. Unlike the paved paths at Toongabbie Reserve, these are bush tracks, so wear sensible shoes. There is no public restroom, and the track's length isn't recorded, so treat it as a short stroll rather than a set distance.
