Dog rules
–Central Coast Council's "Guide to being PAWSOME!" booklet states: "When exercising in a public place, keep your dog on a lead and under the control of a competent person." "This means when you are outside your home, including on the footpath, your dog must be on a lead — except in designated dog off-leash exercise areas." The booklet also notes that under the Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs are prohibited from schools, shopping centres, beaches (except in designated areas), food preparation areas, playgrounds and wildlife protection areas. This park is not on Central Coast Council's published off-leash list, so the council's general on-leash rule applies. (Source: Central Coast Council — "Guide to being PAWSOME!"

Enjoyable walks. Not too challenging with some great views. Walks between 30 minutes and a couple of hours. Well maintained.

Excellent bushwalk, but does need a moderate degree of fitness. There are several different trails with differing hardness ratings.

Nice local wildlife and nature reserve to walk and chill. Entrance and exits can be improved by council upgrades.

What a beautiful walk. When you make it too the top there are views of gosford & the water. Also some iron statues. A picnic area. Ive been lucky enough to see a wallaby's one a number of occasions now.
