Fagan Park is a large, popular park in Galston with a fully fenced off-leash dog area featuring double-gate entry, drinking water, and waste bags. The broader park is extensive, with themed gardens, BBQ facilities, playgrounds, and two car parks. The scale of the park means there's always room, even on busy weekends. It's a good option for combining a dog run with a longer family outing.

There’s plenty of parking, with two car parks, and two playgrounds for kids. We came for a walk and enjoyed the many flowers in bloom. There’s also a very large fenced off-leash dog play area, complete with bin bags and tennis balls provided, which was great to see. Plenty of shaded spots make it ideal for a picnic. There are also ample toilet facilities. Additionally, there are some short bush walks just off the main path—they’re brief but enjoyable.

Beautiful park, with several shelters for picnic, bbq, and enough parking spots. We visited there over the weekend it was quite crowded but as the park is big, it was ok. There is a nice playground for kids available. Also many ducks in the pond. It is a dog friendly park, also has a small fenced area for dogs at the back.

Location is so unique, surrounded by amazing countryside. Plenty of room to roam, with kids park a bonus. I’d bring a picnic as there’s only one caravan to get food or coffee and can be a bit of a wait. Plenty of very well kept world gardens with waterways and bridges. $7.00 for parking so don’t forget to get a ticket but that’s for all day parking. If you get to go into the original historic farm, it’s worth a look, to see how they lived 100 years ago.

It is one of the biggest parks i have been to with two playgrounds for the kids and a spacious parking area. Great for BBQ, picnics, strolls, and gatherings. I took my kids' bicycles as there are friendly paths with minor slopes.

Fagan Park is one of the most beautiful and well-kept parks I’ve visited. It’s perfect for a day out with family or friends, with plenty of open space, picnic areas, and walking trails. The themed gardens are absolutely stunning—each section offers something unique, and the attention to detail is impressive. The eco garden is both educational and inspiring, especially for kids. There’s also a fantastic playground that keeps children entertained for hours, and the historic Netherby Homestead adds a lovely cultural touch. The whole park is clean, peaceful, and well-organized, with lots of shaded areas and seating. It’s a great place to relax, explore, or just enjoy nature. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene escape or a fun family outing—Fagan Park truly has something for everyone
