Wonderful place to stroll with pets and loved ones.

Beautiful local park. Good walking. Good picnic areas. Used for several local events.
Glen Williams
Great spot for a stroll, especially if you're walking your dog. Beautiful wilderness views and a great view of Sydney harbour. The view of Sydport at the far end is a bit industrial, but still interesting across the inlet. Lots of wildlife. Deer are around, we saw a lot of fresh tracks, but likely hiding mid afternoon. We did see a Pileated Woodpecker and a ton of other birds and squirrels. Some small birds will eat seed right out of your hands.

Fantastic novice level hiking and walking trails with views of the water. Many species of birds and wildlife to observe. A very nice park to enjoy on a beautiful day.

A short drive from downtown Sydney, Petersfield is a beautiful spot to hike and relax by the water, or among the trees on the lawns and the orchard.
Winter or summer,

Large open easy-going walking trails with lots of benchs picnics tables and side trails.
A small beach area too to walk as well.
Great spot to walk dogs as well and a large parking lot. Tends to be active.
Lots of apple trees and large trees in general. And a great spot to feed birds.

It was an old estate ran by an admiralty and some small ruins still are around like foundations and a well.
Overall a good place that takes just over an hour to walk at a leisurely pace.

This is a beautiful park for leisurely walks and scenic views.

Beautiful park, for a nice walk. Stroller friendly trails and has nice family picnic spots. Be careful in the winter as the wooden trails can be very slippery!
Asrar Haq-Montford
Beautiful spot to take your dog for a walk! Snow can get deep in some areas in the winter. The trail is not maintained during the winter months. Lovely spot!
