Justice Robert Hope Park is about 0.7 km away, and Calvert Park is roughly 1.5 km from the house. The Dickson District Playing Fields are also nearby at around 1.2 km.
The former Starlight Drive‑In site is about 1.3 km away, and Exhibition Park, a large showground, is also roughly 1.3 km distant. The National Folk Festival venue and Canberra Racecourse are each within 1.5‑2 km.
Watson sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain in places by Quaternary alluvium. This rock includes the limestone that gave Canberra its original name, “Limestone Plains.”
Watson was named after Australia’s third Prime Minister, John Christian Watson, and the suburb name was gazetted on 7 April 1960. The area once hosted the Canberra Hog Farm and the Starlight Drive‑In cinema before redevelopment.
Watson is bordered by the Federal Highway, Phillip Avenue and Antill Street. Traffic loads on these roads have increased with development in nearby Gungahlin, and some sections were projected to exceed capacity before 2021.
