HIGHLIGHTS
Wheelchair and grandfolk friendly, Family Park in Montville is just that. Perfect to stroll off all the coffee and cake and other delectables from Montville’s many main street café’s. Or take a seat and watch the ducks or grey herons on the lake or your kids in the playground. It’s right in town, so take a peek and enjoy. At certain times of year you can enjoy flowering trees. At other times, there are lots of ferns and water plants to admire.

This newly developed 7.3 ha park features a wooden band stand, a windmill, two lakes, with signed heritage walking paths and hills for children to safely roll down. At the northern end is a rainforest and a flying fox that even adults can enjoy.

Take a picnic or BBQ supplies and enjoy a relaxed lunch in the park or stroll through Montville’s main street and revive yourself at one of the many establishments. For some more excitement head to Kondilla Falls, only 5 mins drive away.

I have been to Montville a dozen times and not known this beauty was here!! Such a beautiful spot. Heaps of parking, clean and well kept facilities, lovely lake to walk around and a great park for the kids. I definitely recommend this spot for families!

Lovely hidden spot right behind the centre of town. Play ground for the little ones, very short stroll to the shops and lake circuit walk. Dedicated community group restoring the native bushland!
