tracks, a tidal pool and prolific bird life.
The Oatley Park Castle is a popular venue for events
and picnics, and the steam roller park is always popular
with the kids, as is the river beach and numerous
walking tracks and playing fields.
It is a modern state-of-the-art facility that can
play host to many sports including basketball,
karate, kung-fu, indoor soccer, aerobics, badminton,
netball, indoor touch football, gymnastics and baton
