Forestville Park

Forestville Park is located at the eastern end of Currie Road in Forestville and contains 24 hectares of bushland that adjoins Garigal National Park. The bushland consists of low open forest, woodland, scrub and wet heath in the catchment for Main Creek, and is recognised under the National Estate register.

Over 200 native plant species from 50 families are found at Forestville Park along with 110 weed species.

A number of urban pressures have impacted upon Forestville Park bushland, including substantial landfill in the 1970s, stormwater runoff and dumping of refuse.

Professional and volunteer bush regenerators have been working at Forestville Park since 1996 targeting declared noxious and environmental weeds along the main creekline and includes mechanical clearance of degraded areas, herbicide spraying and ecological burns.

They also liaise with Park users, residential neighbours and interest groups to educate and gain co-operation in the management of the area.
