From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Garigal is a national park in New South Wales (Australia), 20 km north of central Sydney. The park is somewhat disjointed but covers the following areas:
- Around Bantry Bay between the suburbs of Killarney Heights and Forestville to the West and Wakehurst Parkway (and Manly Dam Reserve) to the East.
- Along Middle Harbour and Middle Harbour Creek between (to the West) the suburbs of Killarney Heights, Forestville, Frenchs Forest, Davidson, Belrose and (to the East) the suburbs of East Lindfield, East Killara, St Ives, as far North as Mona Vale Road (where it abuts Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park).
- To the South of Mona Vale Road the Park runs as far East as the suburb of Elanora Heights and Narrabeen Lagoon
There are trails in this park popular with bushwalkers and mountain bike riders, particularly between Belrose and St Ives in an area known as Cascades after the Cascades Track that runs through here. Others trails include the Heath Track and Bare Creek Track.
