Chatswood: Art, Markets and Walks
Accommodation in Chatswood
Chatswood offers a range of points of interest for a stay: The Concourse in the centre, a bushland reserve, a named walking trail, art in Beauchamp Park, and market and festival dates. These places differ in location, the kind of visit they offer, and timing.
Central point of reference and getting there
The Concourse is in the centre of Chatswood on Sydney’s North Shore. It is a two-minute walk from Chatswood Interchange, with its train and bus terminals, to The Concourse. This short walk provides a specific point of reference if you want to base your stay centrally. For your actual journey, check current train and bus timetables, as traffic patterns may change. When considering a specific hotel offer, you can compare its address with the location that matters for your plans.
Bushland and walking trail
Blue Gum Reserve is a bushland reserve in Chatswood, west of the Pacific Highway and north of Fullers Road. These roads help you locate the natural area on a map. The Railway to River Walk offers a different way to plan: this 3.5 km walking trail leads from Chatswood station to the Lane Cove River. While the reserve is defined by its location between two named roads, the walk is defined by its length, start and destination. You can therefore consider a natural area and a route as different parts of your travel plans.
Art and festival dates
The artworks in Chatswood’s Beauchamp Park include a series of four large sandstone-carved figures. Their number and material give the artwork a distinctive character alongside the natural areas and walking destinations. The Chatswood Year of the Horse Festival ran from 12 to 28 February 2026. The programme included an evening lantern parade on the Saturday of Lunar New Year Celebration Weekend. If you plan to travel for an event, check the dates for the relevant travel year.
Markets and opening hours
The Hong Kong Street Market 2026 took place on 20 September on Victoria Avenue in Chatswood. The event featured more than 40 stalls offering items such as Hong Kong street food and drinks, handmade crafts, and products by artisans. The Chatswood Mall Market and Spring Street Market are listed as open Thursday to Saturday, from 10 am to 9 pm. Check these hours before visiting. One distinction matters for planning: the Hong Kong Street Market has a specific date, while the other two markets have listed days and hours.
Find a hotel in Chatswood to suit your travel plans
First decide whether your trip is centred on the central point of reference, a natural area, the 3.5 km walk, or a specific market or festival date. Then compare the address of a hotel offer with that focus. If travelling by train or bus, it is worth checking current timetables; for a market visit, check the listed hours in advance.
