There is an abundance of parks and bushland walks in the area
- Brennan Park is home to a shaded childrens playground on Hazelbank Rd.
- Berry Island Bushland Reserve, located down Shirley Rd and only a 10 minute walk from the station. Named after Alexandra Berry, the sister of the founder of Wollstonecraft, Edward Wollstonecraft. On this walk you can see Aboriginal midden sites, watering hole and rock engravings.

Unlike its neighbour bustling Crow’s Nest, Wollstonecraft doesn’t offer much in the way of café’s and restaurants. Its only claim to fame being two located at the station: Le Vieux Paris and Wollstonecraft café. There are also no schools here however Bowling enthusiasts are in luck because you can find one here at 7 Russell Street. (http://www.wollstonecraft.bowling-club.org/)
