Castle Cove NSW
Castle Cove
Castle Cove, a residential area in Sydney’s Lower North Shore is upscale and consists of many large single-family houses. It is a very green area. More than half the real estate in this neighborhood is covered by parks, such as Castle Cove Park and HD Robb Reserve. Willis Park is also included. The sprawling Explosive Reserve woods is another park, having its roots back to a former buffer zone for a nearby Bantry Bay munitions magazine. Innisfallen is the Reserve’s private castle. It was constructed in 1903, and only a few owners have been able to keep it.
It is almost entirely residential. There is one little plaza that houses a few restaurants, a cafeteria, a butcher and a baker. You can find more shopping and dining options in nearby areas.
Castle Cove borders Roseville Chase to the north and Middle Harbour to the east, Sugarloaf Bay and Middle Harbour to the east, and Middle Harbour to the south and Roseville west.

Just visited my brother and 1 year old niece. The park here has both gated and undated sections with activities for a range of ages. We had a lot of fun on the small trampolines.

Excellent park with so many rides. It’s relatively larger compared to the average playgrounds. It’s probably got activites for all age groups. Highly recommended.

Great place for Saturday morning soccer but be aware that parking in the nearby streets on these days can be hard to come by – park a few blocks away and walk.

Nice picnic spot right by the waters. You can kayak in the waters or take a walk by the trail. Paid parking at the entrance or at the parking machines. Overall is a nice park limited things to do. Try the Echo point Park for a better experience.

Excellent location for a family picnic, with plenty of large grassy areas, great views, and a river for water activities. There is a ramp area for easy kayak/paddle board access. On-site toilets, paid-parking, and limited BBQ facilities.

One of a few convenient parks around! Park is accessible for all genres and ages. Unfortunately I couldn’t see any wheelchair access/mobility access.
Apart from that, very safe and recommended for family mainly who have kids.
Kayaking and fishing would be fun here. Also not too bad for swimming but water is not really clear. Too many leaves floating….

Wonderful park with an excellent walking trail by the waters. Kids had good fun walking the trail with frequents stops by the shore for some activity. Beautiful views of the waters and across. Overall, a very entertaining trip and well worth it.

Cute little Community Garden, away from all the busyness in life, with a Kid’s playground, around the corner. I liked walking through the garden carefully, and looking through what was planted in each bed. All crops were looking fresh and healthy!

Nice place to bring the dog and cat to play. Need to tunnel underneath so the 2 parts of the park can be rejoined. Eastern Valley Way has no part to play in an ideal recreation area. Further, the park’s creek needs to be reclaimed from private landholders all the way down to Sugarloaf Bay.
