The Lilian Fraser Garden

This one's a lockdown recreational space with a difference. It's the Lilian Fraser Garden in Pennant Hills. 

Ms Fraser's family ran a poultry farm in the area about 100 years ago. She herself was an agricultural scientist. When the farm was sold off  for housing blocks, she kept the house and garden, but in later life donated the place to Hornsby Council. You can wander in any time. More here: Hornsby Council brochure

This one was an unexpected gem. I was aware of it, but had never checked it out properly. It's got fine views over lower Berowra Creek.

Exercise parks of Lockdown 2 - No.92: George Christie Playing Field

 

It's in Wahroonga, near the southern end thereof. It's a pretty simple rectangular field, probably only rating 3 stars. Except it's got views of the San hospital, and connects to an excellent network of walking tracks and the Great North Walk. And some rather colourful crimson rosellas too. Definitely worth another star or two.

 

 

Five stars!
