Nice quiet place, the grounds near the building is wonderful for outdoor wedding. The buildings bricks is intricate and beautiful. I do not think you are allowed inside though as it’s got asbestos warning on the door. parking is enough for the size of the place. there’s a bbq area, small playground for the kids, and the lake is open for some recreational activities. Unfortunately the mini train tracks is closed when I went there (April 2021).

Love going for walks around Walka. Beautiful area to sit and watch the birds and wildlife. Close to Maitland. Looking forward to updates for the facilities and for the site to be more accessible and family friendly again. Currently mainly suitable for bushwalking and riding.

An unexpected treasure. Currently the building is closed off because of asbestos contamination but the walking trails and lake are open. A peaceful, serene place. Hope they always keep it as a bird sanctuary.

Very beautiful area with a lot of good picnic spots and a great walking track. Kids play area is currently cut off for asbestos removal but other areas are still usable and gorgeous.

This place has awesome walking/running trails and I've never seen the place congested of cars and people. Plenty of space extremely quiet n peaceful. Lots of shade and areas to sit and let the day pass by.
