PARKS & RECREATION

You won’t run out of opportunities to get out into nature with the Watagan National Park, Olney State Forest and Lake Macquarie just a short drive away. Whether you choose to walk, cycle or 4-wheel drive, there is no shortage of places to explore around Watagan Park. If you are looking for something less pulse racing, Warners Bay or Catherine Hill Bay are less than 30 minutes away, why not pack a picnic and make a day of it!
The beautiful Lake Macquarie is ideal for water sports and sits next to stunning beaches. If you wanted to wander the spectacular coastline, keep an eye out for majestic humpback whales between May and November and pods of dolphins through the year. You may also be lucky enough to spot dolphins in the lake too.

RETAIL & LIFESTYLE

Woolworths are confirmed as the supermarket for the Watagan Park Town Centre Development, set to open towards the end of 2025. The precinct will feature over 20 stores, a town square and office spaces. Successful Town Centres blend social interaction, commerce and leisure activities together in a pedestrian friendly, outdoor setting.
The Watagan Park Community Town Centre will activate Watagan Park, Cooranbong, and it’s surrounds. It will enable local residents to have a place to meet, drink coffee, stroll in the park and genuinely build community.
