A great spot for a picnic. Beautiful views of a small part of the Sydney harbour area and the city skyline. Nice little walks around the inlet that are easy on the legs. BBQ facilities for those wanting to cook up a storm (I didn’t on my visit). Public Toilets available. A great spot to laze in the sun and relax!

Great open area for picnics, large newly renovated children’s playground. Good views from the lookout and bustle walk. 15 mins from Waverton train station. Good anchorage for boats.

From St Leonard’s to Berry Island is a walkable distance & I visit every year just take in the serene beauty of this lovely place. The walk is good through wooded areas & the view breathtaking. I see a small heaven here.

A great spot for a picnic. Beautiful views of a small part of the Sydney harbour area and the city skyline. Berry Island Reserve is one of North Sydney's most delightful and significant areas of harbourside bushland. This small, almost circular, peninsula in Wollstonecraft is linked to the mainland by a wide grassed causeway. There are superb views of the harbour and the city from this picturesque reserve.
