Strathfield Community Garden open to the public Thursdays from 3pm. Open to members outside this time. See the Strathfield Council website to join!

It says it's a community garden, but doesn't allow public access... only members.. and there is no way in finding out how to become a member... don't bother calling the number... the person on the line is super unhelpful. Been living in Strathfield since 1998 and it's the most least community orientated place, ever. If this place was for the community it should be easy like 'Strathfield Sports Club' to become a member... as that place is also for the community

Connecting Elva Street and Pilgrim Avenue, it really looks like a cute little community garden with a bit of seating underneath the gazebo. But while passing, it looked like the gate was locked and you could only have access if you were a member of the local community association. I guess that saves a few plants, but it restricts freedom, hmm.
