About this place
Garvey Park is located at the river end of Fauntleroy Avenue in Ascot. The remnant vegetation in the park is of high conservation value.
Garvey Park was previously connected to Ron Courtney Island prior to 1969 when a channel was cut to alleviate forces of erosion due to river flow. There is a boardwalk across the wetlands to provide the experience of an urban bushland walk and lots of local wildlife.
The park has a picnic and barbecue area, as well as a children’s playground and a half basketball court. The park is also home to Ascot Kayak Club and the Ascot Riverside Kiosk which offers takeaway or alfresco dining.
