Great place, in the middle of nowhere, it is right behind Blacktown/Rootyhill Sports Park. Bit difficult to find, entry his Rooty Hill South Road/Church Street. There are number of playing fields used for Cricket, Soccer, Rugby and few other sports. It has a relatively big parking area, a small play area for young kids. Public toilets that are open only on scheduled game days.

  • Briggs Jourdan

Upon the hill, there is quite a broad panoramic 360 view, going west to the mountains, south to the towers near Cecil Hill and east towards Wet 'n' Wild. The grounds are well kept, not the most steepest of slopes but is home to a previous tradition of being there for the first sunrise, as well as festivals and celebrations throughout the year such as Australia Day.

Went on Australia Day event and the grounds was just amazing. Free rides for kids followed by amazing music and at the end 15mins of beautifully choreographed fireworks. We all had a fantastic time at the event. Happy Australia Day to everyone ✌️

Every second fortnight there is a Live Action Roleplay (LARP) here which I attend. Good fun. The park is a bit dirty (glass, used condoms, assorted rubbish) and there is little shade, but for such a large reserve it seems relatively unused (except for the Scy'Kadia LARP group).

This landmark is where Darug people used to stop and rest from the elements when traveling to and from the mountains and parramatta river and the coast. It was awesome to hear Diesel give acknowledgement of country at the 2018 January 26 performance.

"Thanks for bringing me to this nice undeveloped park!!! I like that it is just biking, hiking, hunting. The trails are awesome. I wish I would have brought my bike to explore more of the trails. I think I will be back with the bike."

Historical "The Rooty Hill". Nothing to see here, just a huge expanse of open land with a whopping great hill in the middle. It's a great view from the top. Other than that, there's nothing else to do/see here.

  • _cgbrl

Very grateful for this place. Massive outdoor auditorium and a sloping field for great views. Two soccer fields and new netball courts have been recently added. Small playground for children and amenities.

  • Kerry Southam

Went for a nice walk around in the fresh air. Plenty of parking but the road leading down to the reserve is fairly average. Hardly anyone around. Good netball courts to practice on. Nice soccer field.

  • Clare Jennings

Blacktown council should be congratulated. Western Sydney Parklands are spectacular. Parking attendants at the Australia day event were lovely and the whole event was extremely well organized
