After the devastating bushfires of the north it was nice to visit this lush, green park in the city. Paths are easy to follow, maps are detailed and you could easily take a stroller or wheelchair around. Lots of birdlife and snake warning signs. I was especially pleased to see the environmentally friendly sinks at the toilets. I visited Lizard Log about 9am on s weekday and it was pleasantly quiet but the facilities & number of BBQ's suggests it could easily cater to hundreds. I enjoyed my visit.

Walking around the park, only a few minutes from Blacktown station, you could believe you are far from a large city. The bird wildlife, the interesting facts dotted around the walk makes you aware of our part in the ecosystem. Relaxing picnic areas, bbqs, waterplay area for young kids, basketball courts, open fields for footy, a great place for a family gathering .

Such a fun experience for my 3 year old daughter and the adults. Nice flat easy walking paths. My daughter walked the whole zoo. We got an annual pass and it is well worth the money. It’s great to have a zoo so close to home. The animals all look happy and healthy. I’ve told all my friends and work colleagues to check it out.
