The name of this Sydney suburb is actually a misnomer, the original spelling of the name being changed through confusion and given permanent status by the Geographical Names Board. It was originally spelled Eshcol by the owner of the land at the time after a biblical location. Once an area of vineyards it was devastated by a disease that brought an end to the wine making industry and dairy cattle became the main focus of the area. This continued until the 1970’s when housing developments required land and the beginning of a suburb emerged. Due to its early winemaking history the streets have been named after different wines.
This Sydney suburb is located 60 km south west of the city CBD, and was established in 1978 and has a population of nearly 3,000 residents. In the early 1980s a sports complex was opened in the area followed by a primary school in 1985. The main house of the old estate, named Eschol Park House, is now heritage listed and used as a venue for weddings and business functions. It is a grand old building surrounded by landscaped gardens and neatly manicured lawns, a popular setting for newlyweds to be and a prime piece of real estate Liverpool. As well as the primary school, Eschol Park has its own kindergarten and child care centre with others located close by in neighbouring suburbs. It also has a wine shop for those who like a nightcap.
Medical care can be found in neighbouring suburbs clinics, and you will have to venture there for veterinary care as well. Happily the suburbs are all close by so it is only a short drive. Rail transport is available in neighbouring suburbs and can be reached by car or bus. Not a lot of infrastructure is to be found in this suburb and this is not surprising as it is another of the younger additions to Sydney. As time moves on and people move in this of course will all change.
