Gosford forest is home to Gosford castle, an arboretum, a deer park, diverse woods and open parklands. There are lots of different walking trails to follow. All colour coded and ranging in different distances and difficulty. Taking in the streams, waterfalls, ponds and grassland that Gosford forest has to offer. This park has all you need for your next family trek!

This place is an adventure wonderland. With two play parks, Little Explorers is suitable for up to 5 years old and is an open space with a sand area and wooden huts enclosed with a willow hedge. The larger park had lots to keep the kids busy with slides, monkey bars and swings.

There are lots of different trails to follow. We followed the Play Trail, this is a great one to follow as to keep the wee ones moving, it features different wooden superstructures to explore. Just under 2 miles and suitable for prams you weave your way through the forest and discover the ultimate adventure.

There are also bike trails to follow and a pump track to improve the wee ones riding skills. Visit the Deer Park to get up close to Gosford’s resident Red Deer herd.
