Castle Hill Heritage Park Loop

Castle Hill Heritage Park Loop is a dog walk in Baulkham Hills, NSW, where the route features rolling landscaped hills, remnant Blue Gum forest, and educational signs detailing its history from Dharug people's use to convict farm.

The walk

Underfoot it is paved paths, some uneven tracks.

Lead rules

The Hills Shire Council manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Baulkham Hills for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

There is enough dog-friendly hospitality around Baulkham Hills to turn the walk into an outing; the suburb guide sorts out the options. Winston Hills Reserve Path is the other local walk worth comparing.
