A Hidden Gem in the Upper North Shore – Simply Picture-Perfect
Wahroonga Park is truly one of Sydney’s best-kept secrets, nestled in the heart of the Upper North Shore. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by an enchanting landscape that feels more like a grand estate than a suburban park.

It’s no surprise this park is a popular spot for weddings – the natural beauty of the grounds offers a stunning backdrop for photos, ceremonies, and intimate gatherings. Every corner of the park feels thoughtfully maintained, from the tree-lined paths to the charming rotunda and carefully landscaped gardens. Whether you’re planning a picnic with loved ones or simply want a quiet stroll through elegant surrounds, Wahroonga Park delivers a peaceful escape that’s rich in charm and character.
Best of all, it’s just a stone’s throw from Wahroonga train station, making it incredibly accessible without losing its serene, tucked-away feel.

Really beautiful old park with large trees, lovely gardens and lots of interesting things for Licorice to smell watch and hear. There is a massive children's park here plus good, clean toilets.
