Chang Lai Yuan Gardens

Speechless, Speechless, the lake needs to be cleaned up, and the rest environment is not clean enough, I hope it can be changed for the better.

Another beautiful feature of the Western Sydney Parklands. Great for Wedding and formal photos. Love the waterfall. Very relaxing if you like listening to water running.

Wedding gardens on the opposite side of the pond that connects to bushwalking trails full of birds, frogs (if you can see them) and other wildlife as well as a mini train network which has recently been up graded.

Big garden with variety of play areas including the newly built play area, picnic areas and walking track. It’s place for all ages.

It is best to hang out and have fun with friends best miments of life, roaemary too for tonight. Overall, good for all kind of photoshoots.

An oasis in Western Sydney. Heaps of covered options and open spaces for group gatherings or a quiet afternoon. Bathrooms and BBQ areas always clean.

Nice place for a relaxing walk, plenty of space for picnic or frisbee, the only thing missing here is couple of hundred of colorful koi in the ponds.

Surprised there is an ancient Chinese style pavilions, terraces and open halls in this west suburb. Plenty of free parking and BBQ areas. After researching, the meaning of ChangLai is the pronunciation combination of Blacktown and Dongchang which are sister cities.

Been here in the spring and summer now in the winter great place to come and relax and have a nice walk. Come and see for yourself you will not regret it.

Lovely gardens, many people get married here and take marriage photos. Chang Lai gardens and Nurragingy Reserve are both lovely places to visit and relax with family and friends.

Some of the recent rainfall has made the area very wet and slippery, some of the lakes are covered in moss. Hopefully cleanup takes place soon.

Nice little spot within the larger gardens. Pond had a lot of algae in the water other than this very cute and relaxed

It was open Easter Sunday despite the website alert for parks.
Parking is great before 1030am!
Toilets are in the main building.
It’s one lap but else you can check out other park related landscapes such as kids play area or have a rest At the lake side and there is some seating for you to have a rest. Lots of potholes on the way in…

Chang Lai Yuan Garden is a typical Chinese classical garden of Ming and Qing dynasties. It is one of great place that I visited. Good for walking, picnic and more activities. Beautiful gardens, waterfall, lake and stone bridge.
Located within Nurragingy Reserve, Doonside. There are America Garden, New Zealand Garden etc. Nurragingy Blacksmith’s hut and Lorikeet Marsh Boardwalk

Lovely place for a family picnic or just to sit and relax. Plenty of open space for the kids to run around and play or they can play on the many playgrounds or the water park on hot days. Lots of BBQs both gas and wood burners located throughout the park. If your interested in bird watching, there are many species throughout the reserve.

Picturesque garden featuring classic Chinese structures, a waterfall, lake & stone bridge. The architectural style of the structures within the garden is based on the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty in China, and feature a Gateway, Seven Arch Stone Bridge, Light Mountain Pavillion and a Waterfall Gazebo.
