Picton Botanic Gardens
The Picton Botanic Gardens is a fan favourite location amongst locals for taking a walk, picnic or a relaxing break at any time of the day. Located a short 10 minute walk from the main shopping hub of Picton, Argyle Street and just over an hours drive from Sydney it’s the perfect location to spend time solo or with the family.
Picton Botanic Gardens feature picturesque surroundings with a six kilometre flat surface return walking and cycling trail. Whether you’re after a peaceful stroll or an energising run you’ll find fresh air, gorgeous trees and friendly smiles along the way. The park was originally established in 1986 and features a number of Australian Native plants. Picton ParkRun operates on a Saturday morning from the Cliff Street entry.
The park also offers free BBQs, wet weather/shade shelters for up to 50 people and bathrooms with disabled access. The park is on leash dog friendly and if you make your way over the pedestrian bridge toward Picton Sportsground there is an off leash dog area for your pooches to play.
The kids are also taken care of with a colourful playground full of fun equipment. The refurbished playspace includes a separate children’s and toddler’s play area with an adjoining walkway bridge. The playgrounds include water play and sensory elements along with traditional play equipment. The new amenities block is also completely accessible.
Parking is available at the Cliffe Street Entrance, Regreme Road Entry or at the Downing Street Carpark or Picton Sportsground Carpark along Fairleys Road.
For a unique wedding or function the Picton Botanic Gardens is a great option at a low cost (includes usage of the gorgeous gazebo). Bookings can be made through Wollondilly Shire Council, call 4677 1100, email council@wollondilly.nsw.gov.au or visit the Council Website for more information.
