Walking Trails At Cornubia Forest Park

Cornubia Forest Park’s walking trail is an easy 1.4km walk. The track has nice wide paths, and there are several wooden bridges along the way. Most of the walking track is under the tree canopy of beautiful fig and gum trees, making it shaded and cool for those hot summer days.

The little wooden bridges cross over creek beds, creating the perfect location to look for water dragons warming themselves in the sun. There are quite a few seats to stop at and recharge or to just sit and soak up the natural environment.

For curious kids, there are information plaques along the track to assist with gaining facts for a deeper understanding of Cornubia Forest Park.

At the Parkview Crescent end of the track, a private fence is turned into a fairy garden with a wondrous display of butterflies, insects, birds and toadstools which is sure to intrigue and inspire little imaginative minds.

What we thought of Cornubia Forest Park

Cornubia Forest Park is a fabulous 1.4km walk – my 5 year old scooted and I pushed a toddler in a pram. We loved looking for koalas, wallabies and bandicoots, although we didn’t see any this time. Watching the water dragons was fun and we enjoyed hearing the birds while talking about everything we could see, hear and smell. Although it is an easy and short walk, wear appropriate walking footwear, pack water, and respect the natural environment on your adventures.
