Forrester Park - Eastwood (NSW)

5 /5 Mark Watson: This is a lovely park nestled near Eastwood. I came across it while hiking the Epping River Loop Trails. For me it made for a comfortable place to stop and rest, make a check of my All Trails map, and then continue on to my start point at Epping Station. I have included a few photos of places along the trail.

3 /5 John Wang: Fairly bland park. Basic play equipment, a derelict wooden teepee, seats and odd concrete patches. It’s not bad as a stopover to expend the energy of kids. Not really something worth traveling to if you’re not a local.

5 /5 Terry Wang: The park it self is quite spacious with lots of possibilities. It’s also a good entry point for Terrys Creek Walk. The little bridge across the creek doesn’t have a tag on Google Maps, it is a hidden gem for those who like to cross the Eastwood Epping border by bike or walk, feel great to have a short rest on the bridge overlooking the stream (flood gate just beside it, pretty spectacular when it rains hard…).

3 /5 A B: A nice park with a playground and some space to play sport or relax. No toilets and limited parking though.

5 /5 David Halfpenny: I strolled to Forrester Park when I was waiting for my car to get a rego inspection and stood in the cricket pitch absorbing the warmth and sunlight on a clear winters day. While too small and weirdly shaped to work as a real cricket ground, the open field is a lovely place for many casual sports. The kids play area looks relatively new and the surrounding bush is well kept. The true secret of the park is that its a gateway to a delightful suburban bush walk which will take you up to Browns Waterhole and then, possibly, on to the Great North Walk, if youre so inclined. Its like entering Narnia, save its via a casual little park rather than a wardrobe (and the characters that inhabit the area are decidedly less creepy).
