About Wilson Park
Charles Darwin Walk Starting Point at Wilson Park
The Charles Darwin Walk starts from Wilson Park, so the park serves as the entry point for a bushwalk that commemorates a visit by Charles Darwin in 1861. The walk follows Jamison Creek up to the top of Wentworth Falls, and it is popular with children because it is family-friendly. The first section of the walk reopened after flood damage had closed it for more than four years. The track head sits near the tennis courts, so visitors can reach the trail directly from the park's sports area.
