Fiddens Wharf Oval (Redbank Oval) - Killara (NSW)

5 /5 vintagepimpage 604: Great place to visit in sydney, its free , its beautiful and most all its clean , this little hidden gem within the city is fantastic, its a short walk down to the river and you can choose to continue to walk along the river or use a great climbing trail in the opposite direction, definitely will be back again

3 /5 Adam Smith: The oval is a little difficult to find for someone who has never been to the area before as it is tucked away at the end of a narrow road with no real signage. There are limited parks along the street close to the track entrance (although cars could get down to the oval, there is a locked gate). Access down to the oval is a steep drop, and it is a squeeze to get a pram around the gate. People with mobility issues will struggle to get down to the oval and even more trying to get back up the hill. The fencing and other infrastructure items around the oval are quite old and are in need of a refresh. The bushland around is quite thick and overthrowing into the oval surrounds in places. The oval itself has a cricket pitch in the centre (concrete with synthetic grass on top), but it is not in the best state of repair. The playing surface is well grassed but is uneven due to wildlife activity. It is suitable enough for kids soccer (there is provision for 2 games to be played at once). There are public toilets next to the oval, but they do not appear to be regularly serviced. The local councils website mentioned a BBQ, but we could not find it. There is a bush walking route that passes through. The surrounding bushland is nice, with abundant wildlife visible and heard in location. The rating given is for the oval itself and not the surrounding area.

3 /5 Nina Beilby: Often soggy, surrounded by blackberry bushes this field has seen better days. It is, however, abundant with wildlife. From wild rabbit to Frogmouth Owls, it is the perfect spot to bring your camera. With easy access to the National Park, it is a good place to start your walk from for a change of pace and scenery.

5 /5 F.L.A.G: Great sport ground for soccer playing. Street parking is available and within walking distance. Big slop may not suitable for disabled access, will get a little bit muddy when wet.

4 /5 Mark Farac: Fiddens Wharf is named after Joseph Ridden ,an ex-convict who had been granted land. He was ferryman on the river , rowing sawn timber down to Sydney and delivering supplies to isolated settlers along the way . Good local spot for sport !
