The Lakes of Cherrybrook

A magic lagoon, wild animals and a nice playground

Pretty little walk through the bushland. Let's face it, 'Lakes' is probably quite an ambitious thing to say but it is a tranquil place to be nevertheless.. a bit of greenery, close enough to the shops. Sit under the trees and have your lunch or to walk along the water's edge.

The Lakes of Cherrybrook form an interesting hub. The Macquarie Drive and Shepherd Drive junction lies  at one corner, with their respective bus stands on the parameter; The Callicoma Bush Walk passes through it.  Cherrybrook Village shopping centre and a petrol/ service station lie just across the road.  The Greenway Park- Community Centre and a dog park are within 200 metres.Yet, its a quaint area amidst tall trees; a grass belt separates the lakes from the road. A cemented walkway, benches, barbecue area, picnic tables, drinking fountain for humans and pets are imaginatively placed. A large children's play area, still being further improved, lies just off the water body.There's fair biodiversity. Ducks, fishes, birds, iguanas, and many variety of plants abound.The point is, accessibility is no problem, parking is no problem. Its a good transit halt for walkers... I often grab a sandwich and coffee from Cherrybrook Village Shopping Centre and sit out leisurely in the Sun as part of my long walks. Ditto if I need to keep company to my grandchildren as their parents go grocery shopping at the Cherrybrook shopping centre. It's always a new experience in entertainment and learning. And a Joy!!

The playground is perfect for toddlers. The whole place isn't too big but brings enough fun, kids love it.

It's so pretty and there is plenty of room for the dog's and kids to run away

Renovations being carried out.Lakes very dirty at the moment...Hopefully will improve on cleanliness after renovations.

A very nice small relaxing walk or you can sit and enjoy a meal. There are some nice areas along the way to view the ducks swimming or spot the wildlife in the trees. The only sad thing is that the place was overgrown and looked unkept for awhile. It also links to others walks close by.

A nice small park on the main road with waterfall, small walk trails and ok type park for toddlers to play . The nature beauty is that makes this place a visit provides a nice feeling when you visit. There is a mall right opposite and chairs with benches if you want to do picnic.

A short walk around the lake where there is a small fountain and some ducks swimming in the lake

It is a small but pretty local recreational area surrounding a tranquil lake. Located very close to Cherrybrook Shopping Village, the lake is a nice place to add a little favors for one's mundane shopping trips. The lake might look ordinary at your first glimpse, however it still provides wonderful photography opportunities. I have been there many times and I always feel the lake is like a capable artist who can create marvelous painting-looking pictures. Several photos attached.
