About this event

Saturday Orienteering Series

Castle Hill Showground and Fred Caterson Reserve

Ready to explore Sydney’s parks and urban bushland in a whole new way?

Whether you’re a confident navigator or just curious about giving orienteering a go, the Saturday Orienteering Series is your weekly chance to get outdoors, discover hidden pockets of nature, and build your skills one map at a time.

How you take part is entirely up to you:

  • Head out solo and enjoy the challenge of finding the cleanest, smartest route

  • Team up with friends for a shared adventure

  • Or wander the course with family and make it a relaxed weekend outing

New to orienteering? Perfect. Each event includes clear maps, beginner‑friendly courses, and friendly guidance to help you get started. Just arrive in comfortable activewear and bring a sense of curiosity.

Saturdays become fresh air, gentle (or fast) exploration, and the fun of navigating through parks, reserves, and pockets of urban bushland you may never have noticed before.

Come along, get moving, and discover something new.

Meeting point - near the George Bell Hall and public toilets at Castle Hill Showground, 131Z Showground Rd, Castle Hill NSW 2154 (access is from Doran Drive)
