Fagan Park, in Sydney's north is a 55 hectare area of lush green gardens that was donated by the Fagan family to the Hornsby Shire council. The park is home to the original homestead, Netherby Cottage of the Fagan family, that has been converted into a museum overlooking over 15 acres of parkland.

The park serves as one of the popular recreational areas for families and visitors. Its huge green grassed areas serve a perfect picnic spot allowing visitors to enjoy a day at the landscape parklands, historic buildings and bushland areas. Attractions in the garden also include the 'Gardens of Many Nations' that includes 10 hectares of gardens and an Eco garden. Every Tuesday, there are guided tours arranged that draw the visitors' attention to the history of the park and the important landmarks.

Apart from just picnicking you can also enjoy the small wooden bridge over the water body and undertake some small bushwalking trails in the bushlands. The park is popular for hosting regular and annual events and recently hosted the Bushland Shire festival. You can see some pictures of the park here.

Fagan Park is located on Arcadia Road, Galston. Galston is a suburb of northern Sydney. Galston is located 36 kilometres north-west of the Sydney's central business district.

Hi,
Your Fagan Park maped is coded to the wrong Fagan Park. This must be a park for the same name in Gosford.
