Somerville Park
Somerville Park offers a wide range of amenities, including a large sports oval used for rugby union in winter and cricket in summer, along with a mini field.
A district-scale fully fenced playground has equipment catering to children aged 0–13, including spectacular climbing net towers and enclosed slides, an embankment slide, a triple swing (including a bird’s nest swing), a spinner, and puzzle games.
Visitors can also enjoy a multi-purpose sports court with basketball, netball, handball, and table tennis. A circuit path around the oval links to outdoor fitness equipment stations. Other supporting amenities include a sports pavilion with public toilets, a barbecue-picnic area, an off-street carpark, bubbler, bins, and ample seating.
History
Somerville Park is named in honour of Charles Harwood Somerville, who served as a Hornsby Shire Councillor from 1921 to 1959. During his distinguished public service, Somerville was elected Shire President on ten occasions. The park was originally located within Hornsby Shire prior to Council amalgamations.
Parking
The car park can be accessed off Blaxland Road. You can only turn left into the car park and right coming out of it.
