Edogawa Garden
The Edogawa Commemorative Garden in East Gosford offers a delightful escape from the demands of modern life, providing families with an opportunity to reconnect with nature and nurture their well-being. Based on a traditional Japanese design, every corner of the garden offers a chance to practice mindfulness, foster creativity, and delight in the simple pleasures of life.
Purchase a bag of fish food at the gallery shop on your way in, and then follow the winding path across a bridge, past the waterfall to the pavilion. Here you’ll discover the captivating dance of koi fish splishing and splashing. Which one is the biggest? Can you drop some food right into their mouths? Watch out for the hungry ducks zooming in!
Continue along the path to discover more enchanting spaces, including a zen garden, tea house and art zone for kids. With fresh views around every corner, perfectly manicured hedges and glimpses of water views over Caroline Bay, it's an opportunity for you to slow down, observe, and appreciate the beauty of nature.
One of the things we love about the gardens is their convenient location and what's nearby. The Gosford Regional Gallery and Community Gallery spaces are available for art-lovers to enjoy, and there's a friendly cafe to visit for a meal or snack. Outdoors, the Friendship Walk is a stroller-friendly trail through the trees. And, Elizabeth Ross Park is always a hit with kids big and small.
Together these facilities let you stretch your legs, indulge in a little art appreciation and enjoy the peace and delight that time in nature so easily evokes.
And, bonus - you're modelling some super important life skills for your kids too! Seeing you practicing mindfulness can help kids with their own emotional regulation, and positively influence their attention and focus as well.
Let's face it - it's healthy for everyone in the family to take time out from the hustle and bustle occasionally, and we think a trip to the Edogawa Commemorative Gardens refreshingly fits the bill.
