Nestled along the Georges River, Lime Kiln Bay, and Jewfish Bay, Oatley Park covers 45 hectares of Sydney's prime bushland, attracting visitors year-round. Families enjoy picnics at Steamroller Park, featuring the Inclusive Adventure Playground with a 12-metre play tower, slide, flying fox, and custom swings set among extensive landscaping.
For those interested in history, the historic Oatley Castle, built in 1937, offers facilities like electric barbeques and can be hired for private events. The park's Jewfish Bay Baths, one of New South Wales' largest swimming enclosures at 320 metres, provides a perfect spot for a refreshing swim.
Walkers and cyclists can enjoy the wildlife of Oatley Park, which is home to over 310 plant species and 107 bird species. As you cover the park's pathways, you might also encounter numerous reptiles, possums, bats, and echidnas along your journey.
Significant too are traces of Aboriginal heritage, including rock carvings and shell middens, evidencing thousands of years of history of the Bidjigal people of the Eora nation.
Oatley Park remains a treasured spot for all who appreciate natural and historical richness.
