Each section offers a fantastic experience in the great outdoors; Cattai Farm is great if you're looking for a weekend camping trip, some canoeing or a big family barbecue. There's also plenty of space for games and for children to ride bikes. History buffs will be interested to know that this parcel of land is an intact land grant given to a First Fleet settler be sure to stop by the historic sites within this part of the park.



Mitchell Park is more secluded, so it's the place to be if you're looking for a relaxing afternoon in the great outdoors. It's also a good spot for fishing you might catch carp or bass. If you feel like stretching your legs, there's 5km of walking tracks that takes you through native vegetation, including scribbly gum forest and tall bloodwoods.

Cattai's is in the far north of Sydney which makes it an excellent choice...
