Ferndale Park is located in suburban Chatswood, 8 km (5 mi) from the centre of Sydney, Australia. It is an important[1][2] urban forest reserve, preserving Blackbutt forest and the mossy gully rainforest.[3] Most of this original forest was cleared for agriculture and housing in the 19th and 20th century.
