Walking Tracks Through Wolli Creek Regional Park
Wolli Creek Regional Park has a walking track that forms a two-kilometre section of the Two Valley Trail, running between Campsie and Bexley North. The track is an easy out-and-back route of about 6.6 miles, and it takes an estimated 2.5 to 3 hours to complete. The park's walking tracks climb past rugged sandstone escarpments, and in spring the walking track is known for its wildflowers, which give walkers a seasonal reason to return.
Girrahween Picnic Area with Barbecues and Tables
Girrahween picnic area is the picnic spot inside Wolli Creek Regional Park, and it has both picnic tables and barbecue facilities. The picnic area sits within the park's bushland, so groups can eat outdoors among native trees. Girrahween Park, an 8.9 hectares (22 acres) former council reserve, was handed over to the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service and now forms part of the park.
