Grounds & Facilities
Public entry to the Society's grounds is from Anthony Road, on the corner of Betts St, behind West Ryde shopping centre. Our grounds have limited seating and no tables, so if you are having a picnic please consider bringing your own rugs, fold up chairs and tables. The area is mostly well grassed, and the shady spots are at a premium in summer! There is no shelter in the event of rain. We usually do run if the weather looks doubtful, but if it turns wet riding on wet seats is usually not pleasant, and it is unlikely our usual show of trains will eventuate as members don't like getting wet either! If you are having a party then a Plan B should be considered. Our entry is a ramp that makes access for strollers fairly easily, however, access to the elevated railway is by steps and bridge over our ground level tracks. Toilets are available at the clubhouse, as is a kiosk that sells, cakes, chips, ice creams and drinks. These pictures give some idea of the pleasant grounds.
