Lovely quiet park which hugs the edge of White Bay. Beautiful tree lined paths with views of Anzac Bridge, Barangaroo, the City and the Harbour Bridge. There's a basketball hoop in a sunken section where the walls have been professionally graffitied. At the very end there is a small children's playground with a climbing house and a couple of swings. Benches are positioned in well thought out places to allow you to enjoy the view.

Plenty of lush greenery that more so acts as a cover for the houses nearby of the large concrete docks of the White Bay Cruise Terminal. A simple footpath with dazzling views of the harbour beyond the trees and this secluded area that's seemingly a public art space? A nice peaceful place for a stroll.
