About Castle Hill Park
Remnant Blue Gum Forest at Castle Hill Park
Castle Hill Park contains a remnant Blue Gum forest, which is an endangered ecological community. Council works with bushcare groups and volunteers to restore this forest, and bush regeneration and ecological burns are among the techniques used. The restoration work takes place within the park's 20 hectares of rolling landscaped hills, so the forest is one of the features that sets the park apart from open reserves in the area. Visitors walking the park's grounds can see the forest as part of the wider landscape.
