About Fearnly Park
Playground at Fearnly Park
Fearnly Park has a playground whose upgrade was completed in late September 2025. The playground includes a 6-metre high rope climbing tower, a three-bay swing set with one toddler seat and two standard seats, and a rope bridge leading to a play platform with double slides. Nature play elements at Fearnly Park use timber and sandstone balancing features that blend with the natural forest environment. The design suits young children and adventurous climbers alike.
Walking Trails and Picnics at Fearnly Park
Fearnly Park contains walking trails that meander through remnants of the Blue Gum High Forest. Towering Blue Gum trees create ample shaded areas, which keep the park comfortable on sunny days. The forested setting suits leisurely strolls, quiet relaxation and nature observation, including birdwatching. Picnic tables throughout the park suit family gatherings and outdoor meals in the shade, although the park has no dedicated BBQ facilities.
Dogs at Fearnly Park
Fearnly Park is not an off-leash dog area, and dogs must remain leashed. In 2021, Hornsby Shire Council evaluated Fearnly Park for off-leash use but deemed it unsuitable due to anticipated negative impacts on neighbouring properties and the natural environment. Dog owners wanting an off-leash area in Beecroft can use Lyne Road Reserve, an unfenced area shared with children's playground facilities.
