ruthless Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Does anyone walk their dog in Fagan Park on a regular basis? Is it true that it's closed to the public at 6.30pm during daylight savings? Is there a pedestrian entrance and it's just the car parks that are closed or can no one access the park after that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mary Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi, I am a frequent user of Fagan Park during the day. Arcadia Road and Carrs Road are the major entry points for cars although you can park on the road and walk in to avoid car park fees. I think there is pedestrian access after 6.30pm but I am questioning that in my mind now because I do remember large entry gates. I will be going up there in a couple of days and could check this out for you if nobody else can give you an answer. Sadly no off leash areas here but my dogs are happy on longlines. Such a beautiful place :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mary Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 OK, I've just checked with Hornsby Council. There is no access after the gates are closed at 6.30pm. I was told this was due to security reasons for the facilities and buildings. Hope you are able to get there within opening hours as it is well worth the visit.

Gertrude139 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) There are gates that shut cars out on both entrances, the Carrs rd one I don't think you can get through after hours. I think at the main entrance on Arcadia Rd you can walk around the gates, I don't remember high fencing. Maybe check google street view? There could be a low fence though so I'm not 100% sure sorry. ETA sorry posted at same time as MM. Edited January 7, 2015 by Gertrude139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertrude139 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Just checked street view... looks like you'll need a ladder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks guys. I rang council too but they were pretty useless. I can't believe it closes so early at this time of year. Madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mary Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Have you been to Lake Parramatta? This has good bush walks and amazing views over the lake. Gates close at 7.30pm daylight savings. The walk around the lake is about 3.5kms with some rough terrain up and down hill - better than a gym workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 No, I haven't. I should check it out. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandiandwe Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Lake Parramatta is fantastic....but a deceptively long walk. The particular bit I'm thinking of is where you can see the car park, but need to keep on walking..... A gentler option is Parramatta Regional Park. Gates there shut at 8pm.

Scottsmum Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I was going to say... dont get Paramatta park & Lake Paramatta mixed up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poocow Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yep definitely big gates to keep people out my OH used to take the aussies early in the AM and would often had to wait for them to open up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
