Girrahween Park is a peaceful and beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature. The park is well maintained, with plenty of open space, walking paths, and shaded areas. It’s perfect for a quiet walk, a picnic, or spending time with family and kids. A great spot to unwind and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Great leisurely bushwalk for family! Just remember parts of it get rocky so not suitable for prams. Three and nine year olds loved it, especially the cave along the way. There is a colony of fruit bats near one end with signs telling you to be careful and quiet. We saw loads of them making heaps of noise. At the beginning there are BBQs and undercover seating. There are toilets too but we've never seen them open... If you park on Sutton Ave, Earlwood, there is a set of steps leading down to the walk. Adjacent to the entrance is a small playground for younger kids.

Beautiful park with walking trails. Worth to come with kids and have a picnic. There is a picnic spot as well as play ground.

Such a lovely walk that requires actual walking along a track and not just a footpath. The bats are cool to see which are located halfway between Turella and Bardwell Park station. And my little girl loves seeing the train go by. I'd avoid the track after heavy rains, it will be too muddy over sections.
