The suburb’s history dates back to 1878 when it was decided that the region should be named ‘Rockdale’ following years of using Frog Hollow, White Gum Flat and West Botany. The construction of the railway line opened up the suburb to further development as well as the creation of residential units.

Today, the suburb is an eclectic mix of commercial regions, residential areas, as well as light industrial. The main shopping strip is located along the Princes Highway and is the go-to place for all things quirky and antique.

Are you wondering what exciting activities you can enjoy while here? Start with Moorefield Reserve, a small dog-friendly park whose undercover playground makes it a favourite for families. The Colson Crescent Reserve is perfect for nature walks or strolling the dog, while WhiteOak Reserve promises a great picnic for the whole family.

It is impossible to talk about Rockdale without mentioning Bicentennial Park. This park is a large recreational reserve that has plenty of tables and benches for the perfect BBQ.
