Arrived by ferry, stopped here just to relax and watch the world go by .. the park is clean , has some picnic area .. it must be a dog on leash or off leash … many dogs running around with their owners.. Watson Bay is a small community but quaint , has a few eateries and shops.. last thing , community washrooms were clean as well..

This is such a lovely park with views of the city as you walk towards the water. After doing The Gap cliff walk, you can grab a coffee or ice cream at a number of places nearby and sit on the grass, the beach front, the bandstand or one of many benches in the park. Pets on lead allowed and a popular playground for kids (up to 10 years IMO). There's also a toilet block in the park. Its situated right beside the ferry stop, bus stops or you can go by car as there is heaps of street parking (2/3 hours) along with a carpark with the same time limits. Just up the road is a massive off-lead park for dogs near the lighthouse where in season is a great whale-watching spot.

Located on Military Road, Watsons Bay, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 This is a great park right on the Sydney Harbour with stunning views all the way to the city. It leads from the steps up to the Gap Lookout down to the Watsons Bay Ferry ⛴️ Wharf. You can easily get here by public transportation ie the Ferry from Circular Quay or bus 🚌. When you get to the wharf, there’s a great walking track along the water. The park has ample seating located around it which is convenient if you wanted to bring a picnic lunch or get takeout from Doyles on the Wharf or Watson’s. There’s a great little children’s playground which is going to be getting an update soon. There’s also good toilet facilities. Even though it was overcast today, it was still a really nice park to visit. Would definitely recommend a visit. Thumbs up 👍👍

Beautiful location with scenic views on the cliff edges facing Tasman Sea. Walking distance from Watson's Bay ferry wharf. Lovely place to be around, lots of visitors come in this place by cruises, buses or cars. Stunning coastal views from one side and you can also see the city in the distance. This park has several beautiful walking trails.
