Montview Park and Oval

It's a fair sized slab of fairly flat grass. Couple of synthetic cricket pitches, and practice nets. There is a smaller playground for the little kiddies off to the side. The oval does have lights, but not operational. Reasonable amount of parking, though not near the kids playground.

Across the mowed expanse of the oval- behind the ball sports catch fences- one can see some tantalizing rivulets of formed dirt beckoning. Montview isn’t a BMX track; but it is a rare gem in the Greater Sydney of 2021- namely, an easily accessible suburban dirt jump track with just enough features and edginess to keep all ages of rider interested.From a central, elevated mound, riders can roll off in either direction to enjoy one of three quick circuits. There are two modest kicker jumps (both have been rounded out with over-use) but they’re enough to get both tyres off the ground and even whip it if you have the skills. There was a silent digger parked at the end of this track, so perhaps custodians Hornsby Council are intending to bestow some TLC upon this rare, hallowed slice of officially blessed mtb earth? Two bermed corners either side of the central mound will get bicycle cornering skills on point, and there is a fun selection of gentle rollers leading you to and from these berms. On the central line there is a modest gap jump if you want to progress your jump skills.During a hot day one can sit under the shade of a few trees bordering the oval, and take a breather whilst enjoying the lovely views over Provest Creek Valley. There’s also public toilets and drinking water nearby, courtesy of the sports oval. And the lovely Corner Café is just a few minutes ride away at the intersection of Somerville and Galston Roads!

Great place for kids, two playgrounds, big enough for many activities

Great place for a sunny day out - Plenty of sporting / exercise options. Huge oval good for laps, basketball, netball courts, cricket nets, bicycle track and equipment for kids.

We used to play tennis and basketball here, but now the place is a bit run down. Good for a stretch though, if soccer or jogging is your thing.

It has a flat beautiful area. You also can enjoy doing different sports.

Had a family picnic there. Nice place but only two stars ‘cause it was a scorching hot and there wasn’t a fresh water tap in or near the children’s play area. Had to go across the oval to the pavilion to get water. Otherwise great.

Great park, nice and clean. Facilities are great. We went straight after rain so it was a tad moist under foot

Nice big oval which has two cricket pitches that could be played simultaneously. Have a small play area for kids as well.
