This should have been the site for the "North Connet" fresh air intake. It would have saved 12 house being taken in Wilson Road by the government. No one ever uses the site except for 1 week a year to sell Christmas trees. The site has noisy cars on all three sides making it almost impossible to talk. No toilets. It was the obvious site for the air intake given these facts.

Real bush remain in busy Sydney. Very small though and surrounded by busy roads. Site of first Sydney observatory, long erased unfortunately. some parking on western side, no play equipment. Was a favorite place for bagpipe pratice some years ago.

A lovely park with its high gums. Proximity to Pennant Hills Rd makes it a bit noisy so not many people use it. That makes it great for practising bagpipes or other loud instruments!
