Reserves and lookouts
A natural attraction of the Central Coast is the huge variety of bushland parks, trails and stunning lookouts to enjoy on foot, on your bike, and even by horse.
Central Coast Council manages a network of bushland and other natural reserves in the Coastal Open Space System (COSS). These reserves are places where our native plants, animals, fungi and other living organisms can thrive.
Access to some reserves and some parts of the reserves is prohibited to allow native species to remain undisturbed. But in others Council has provided picnic areas, lookouts and walking tracks so that residents and visitors can experience and enjoy the natural environment.

Rumbalara and Katandra Reserves
The Railway to Rainforest Walk leads from Gosford railway station to the rainforest at Seymour Pond, in Katandra Reserve in Holgate. This is an extensive 11 kilometre return walk (22km all up) that allows views of some of the most spectacular landscapes in the Coastal Open Space System. There are a number of shorter loop walks available if time is limited.
The walk can be accessed from the Donnison Street entrance to Rumbalara Reserve or off the Katandra Road entrance to Katandra Reserve. Picnic and barbecue facilities are provided in both reserves.
