Another great place in the eastern suburb for outdoor exercise, taking scenic photos and relaxing with the kids. There is also a walkway at the edge of the cliff looking out to the South Pacific ocean.

Always love coming here for a walk after a stressful day. The views are almost always great and the park is very clean. There's a fair number of benches scattered around, allowing you to sit and just take in the environment. There's some gym/exercise equipment if that's your thing, and a play ground area for the kids. People play soccer here a lot as well, with seating to watch the games. The walking path takes you along the water all the way till Watson's Bay. Overall a very good place to walk down to for a small escape from everyday life.
