What people say
The public facilities are very good, the park environment is very good, the public toilets are clean, and it is only a few minutes walk to the observation deck, where you can enjoy the beautiful views of the Sydney Bridge, CBD, Opera House and Harbor. This is a good place for families and couples to gather, as well as a good place to watch the sunrise and sunset.
Couldn't recommend the hiking trails at Waverton park more. Whether you're walking dogs, with friends or family, or by yourself, this place has fantastic viewpoints and friendly people (:
One of the best place in Sydney for viewing city
I’ve visited here a lot in Scouts lol nice views and a good place to have a run or walk! you can also watch kids play their games if u want lol
Great open park surrounded by rock and trees, close to city and walk along this park leads to coal loader as well. Some gym equipment is also available and the views are great. Perfect during evening time to see the sunset.
