It's a wonderful place, which gives you "Get the Great Views" of ANZ Breeze & City Landscape! It feels great mixed with neutra and people's creations. Also Wonderful site for walks, leisure and group activities, beside Children Parks (1-2) walk in. There is a cafe there and having good cuppa time & there are public toilets (disability option too) Highly appreciated place for wedding photography & any other Specious background, which makes exceptional, memorable and magical! 👍👍👍

A different view of the harbour and Anzac Bridge, fish market 😋 the redevelopment of the new fish market has reached a new stage, they have built barriers to keep the water 💧 out. Now the real work starts 🙌 interesting, Beautiful Park at the end of Glebe Point Rd Balmain. Great views of the city,! Anzac Bridge & Sydney Harbour Bridge. Nice for a picnic or a walk great photo opportunities. On the waters edge, plenty of street parking. I'll add some pictures I took. Nice walk done easily 👌
