Ashfield Park — Attraction in Sydney

Beautifully maintained by Inner West Council, this iconic Park lies on the Haberfield/Ashfield boundary on the very busy Parramatta Rd. Many city bound commuters will be familiar with the floral arrangement pruned legibly into large letters spelling out "Ashfield Park". The park is set back from the busy road & is just ten minutes from Sydney CBD.

This huge park boasts expansive lush green parkland accentuated by sky high mature trees, plants & brightly coloured flowers dotted along the impeccably manicured bushy displays.

The park is sectioned several functional areas including a large soccer field, modern children's playground with big undercover area & BBQ facilities. Several adult fitness equipment stations are plotted along the running track for cardio activity, with strength & conditioning & meditation.

The parks heritage is acknowledged in the wonderful solid statues immortalising some significant local personalities one of whom was the author of Mary Poppins.

Photos are too off-putting to post here.

Would love to give this park 5 stars. The park is gorgeous with good amenities. A beautiful huge...

Ashfield Park boasts features that can be utilised by the public such as a football/soccer field, several picnic cottages with nearby barbecue areas, plenty of surrounding trees and various types of plants in resting areas and an outdoor gym to name a few. The park is easily accessible to the public, with designated bus stops right at its doorstep and right next to the main busy highway leading from the CBD to the western suburbs of Sydney. Alternatively, Ashfield Station is only about a good 10 minute walk to this...
