Kellyville: Walks, Dharug History and Sport

Kellyville offers travellers several ways to make their stay active while exploring local history. The Kellyville Circuit combines paved paths with information panels about Dharug history; parks offer their own highlights, with Rugby League and outdoor fitness equipment. If you’re looking for a holiday rental, choosing the focus of your trip can help you decide where to stay. Exercise, sport and local history are different themes to consider when deciding what you’d like to experience in Kellyville.

The Kellyville Circuit – The Turkeys Nest Walk

The Kellyville Circuit – The Turkeys Nest Walk is 5.7 kilometres long and follows paved paths suitable for prams and wheelchairs. The starting point is Kellyville Metro Station. The distance and surface give you practical details for planning your day; suitability for prams and wheelchairs is particularly relevant when considering the mobility of your travel group. Check route conditions before setting out.

Information Panels and Dharug History

Along the Circuit, information panels explain more than 13,000 Aboriginal artefacts discovered at Caddies Creek. For Dharug clans, Caddies Creek was a rich source of food and fresh water. This gives the walk a historical dimension alongside the exercise: the finds and the importance of Caddies Creek to Dharug clans are explored along the same route. If you enjoy learning about cultural context while walking, this offers a specific connection to the area’s history. Exercise and historical information go hand in hand on this route.

Rugby League and Exercise in the Park

Kellyville Memorial Park is home to The Hills Shire’s Centre of Excellence for Rugby League—the Parramatta Eels HQ in Kellyville. This gives the park a strong Rugby League focus. Hills Centenary Park has twelve outdoor fitness stations spread across three locations. This offers a different kind of exercise from the Circuit: here, the focus is on fitness equipment at several locations in the park, while the Circuit is a named route with information panels. The parks therefore complement the walk with their own sport and exercise themes.

Choosing Kellyville for Your Holiday
