Landmarks

The dominating feature of Kanwal is the Wyong Rugby League Club to the northeast of the suburb. It is home to the Wyong Roos, a rugby league football club, three sporting ovals, two netball courts and a youth and community centre. There are several parks in Kanwal including Craigie Park to the east facing onto Tuggerah Lake, a wetland area to the northwest and another sporting oval to the south separate from the Rugby League club.

Tuggerah Lakes Private Hospital, a 20-bed private hospital, was constructed in 2019, opposite Wyong Hospital which is in Hamlyn Terrace. It is expected to close in 2023.^[3]
