Dogs on a leash are welcome in Hornsby Park. Please keep to made paths and bushland tracks. Please pick up after your dog. Please note, water is available at the Crusher Plant Precinct and the Hornsby Aquatic and Leisure Centre Precinct.
Portable BBQs are permitted. The Crusher Plant Precinct has a free electric BBQ for use.
Small, non-commercial use sun shelters are permitted but must not be pegged into the ground (sandbags or weights are permitted). Please ensure their placement does not interfere with the comfort of others or obstruct thoroughfares. Structures for large gatherings or events require approval.
There are no cafe's or shops at Hornsby Park. Local cafe's and shops are an 11 minute, 700m stroll away.
Permanent accessible toilets are in the admin building behind the old Crusher Plant.
Two water refill stations are available in the park. One at the eastern end of the park near the picnic shelter and one on the western end near the lookout.
The Masterplan will be delivered in stages over time. At present, the feasibility of swimming in the quarry lake is yet to be determined. Any opportunity to swim will need to consider community safety, access and funding. In the meantime, you are welcome to enjoy the lake views from the lookouts and along the Quarry Loop.
Whilst drones may be fun, they can be noisy, disturb other visitors, and impact local birdlife. There are also safety concerns, particularly in public spaces. For everyone’s enjoyment and safety, drone flying is not allowed in the park.
