Fagan Park - 19th March 2013
Fagan Park covers an area of abour 55 hectares comprising bushland, the Gardens of Many Nations taking up about 10 hectares, together with Netherby Cottage which was the original Fagan homestead, rural museums, old corrugated sheds sunken into the ground, an eco garden, a large children's playground, vast grassed areas, the original water pump, The Park was donated to the Crown by the Fagan family and opened in 1988. We were impressed by the well maintained gardens, walk paths and tracks, old buildings, neat hedges, beautifully landscaped vistas all managed by Hornsby Council which obviously does an outstanding job.
The Friends of Fagan Park clearly give diligent worthwhile time to work on the premises to support the Council. We were lucky enough to witness two smithys welding red hot iron into required artefacts for the historic Netherby Cottage while we won't forget the joy of a 'Friend' who was delightedly planting a donation of original old roses.
Coffee at Rosie's Cafe nearby, and scones.
Walkers: Kate, Marie-Claire, Moira, Pippa, Donna, Carolle
