Propeller Park is a small waterfront park in Balmain East, with calm water and a relaxed harbour feel. The grassed area between Hart Street and Gilchrist Place is off-leash at any time, while the rest of the park is on-leash. The gentle water can suit a careful wade, making it a pleasant short stop rather than a big run-around park.

Dog rules

The grassed area between Hart Street and Gilchrist Place is off-leash at any time of the day. Dogs must be on a leash outside this area.

Beautiful place to visit even in the evening. All dogs absolutely love this place. Just be aware that there are ‘on and off the lead’ sections.

Propeller Park Propeller Park is a beautiful open space along the foreshore with great views out to Sydney Harbour. Large old ship propellers have been placed along the path as an acknowledgement of the areas ship building past. This park is also referred to as The Avenue. There is a small beach ⛱️ here, there is also a marine and wharf

Great waterfront park on the Tom Yuren Walking Trail. Views across to Ballast Point and north shore.

A lovely small park by the harbour that is a little hard to find and not well known so there is usually very few people
