Western Sydney Parklands is the ultimate destination for a Sydney summer playcation where you’re guaranteed an action-packed weekend of family fun and big thrills. Western Sydney Parklands is not just one park, the Parklands cover over 27 kilometres spanning from Quakers Hill in the north via Horsley Park to Leppington in the south. Let the kids burn all that extra energy in a better version of your own backyard! Pack a picnic and head on down to Bungarribee and marvel at the ultra-modern playground with its 14-metre-high tower, 50-metre-long flying-fox, giant swings and water-play. This 200-hectare park features wide-open scenic space and two sealed tracks – the Heart Crossing Loop and the Bungaribee Trail – which are fantastic for walking and cycling. It also has one of Sydney’s largest off-leash dog areas, the Warrigal Dog Run. The wetland around Bungarribee are protected and there are 20 hectares of native wildflower and thousands of native trees gradually being planted there to restore the original landscape. It’s simply beautiful. 34 Lark Industries Photos:
