Discover Pymble

A farm-themed playground, a historic water facility and an unusual residential commission give Pymble a variety of distinctive features. Families can explore the area from several angles: with play opportunities for younger children, facilities for exercise, and examples that may also appeal to visitors interested in culture and architecture. Which of these aspects interests you most on your trip may help determine your choice of holiday rental in Pymble.

Playground and sports facilities

Robert Pymble Playground has its own themed world: its features include a tractor, a farm-inspired climbing frame and fruit-shaped seesaws. These motifs are quite different from those of a purely sporting facility and offer children a variety of play opportunities. There is also a circuit where younger children can ride bikes and scooters. If you are planning a stay with children, you will find both imaginatively designed play equipment and a route for riding here.

Bannockburn Oval also brings together several specific features: an athletics track, a synthetic wicket and a playground. The track and wicket provide a sporting focus, while the playground offers another opportunity for exercise. For your trip planning, this mix makes a difference if you want to choose between play-based and sports-oriented activities. It also offers a different impression of Pymble from the themed world of Robert Pymble Playground: here, the focus is on the oval’s different facilities, while there it is on the farm motifs and the circuit for younger children.

Architecture and local history

Pymble Reservoir No.1 (Covered) (WS 97) is a notable example of local architectural history. The covered reservoir is circular and built of brick. At the centre of its roof is an octagonal brick entrance chamber. The reservoir was built in 1900 to meet local needs. For visitors interested in historic infrastructure, both its function and its clearly described form are of interest: the structure combines a practical purpose with a distinctive architectural design.

Pymble Reservoir No.1 (Covered) is also part of an important group of covered reservoirs on the Pacific Highway in Pymble. This context adds to the view of the individual structure by connecting it with the other reservoirs in the group. Eric Pratten House offers another architectural point of interest: it is Griffin’s largest residential commission in Australia. Both examples offer different points of interest for a trip, whether you are more interested in historic water-supply facilities or in an unusual residential commission. Eric Pratten House represents a distinct aspect of architectural history, separate from the reservoir group described above.

Getting your bearings at Pymble Station

Pymble Station has a commuter car park, bicycle racks and toilets. You can take these specific facilities into account when planning your arrival: depending on whether a car park or bicycle racks are relevant to your trip, they can help you get your bearings. The toilets are another station facility. For families planning a trip that includes several interests, this information complements the impressions of Pymble with a practical point of reference.
