Night Lit Walk is amazing, projects the mountains and waterfalls for a captivating scene. Dog friendly and easy walk. Quick and easy walk with muktiple lookouts and benches.

For such a busy tourist hot spot the lack of facilities was a let down. Less than adequate parking and amenities. One cafe, with one solo employee who was absolutely slammed (doing a great job, but definitely under the pump). It could be so much better. Views however were outstanding.

We had a fantastic time exploring the Night-lit Reserve in Katoomba! The well-maintained paths were perfect for a relaxing walk with our fur babies, Astria and Brocky. The breathtaking lookouts offered stunning views that were a highlight of our visit. What makes this place truly special is that it can be enjoyed both during the day and at night, with the paths beautifully lit up after dark. We experienced it in daylight, but next time, we’re excited to see it illuminated at night for a whole new perspective.

peaceful and enjoyable night walk with the kids! Not too crowded, making it a relaxing experience. Definitely coming back! Tip: Bring a torch—some areas near the railing aren’t well-lit. Highly recommended for a quiet, scenic stroll!

A very organized garden in Blue Mountains, NSW. This place is a rest hub for visitors and there also have a bus stand. We took rest there after having a goos jouney here. There were so many birds. I enjoyed here very much. Good place.
