What people say
One of my favourite hidden spots I frequent when visiting Sydney Harbour. The breathtaking views across the water are difficult to explain and must be enjoyed in person. At night you can see the city skyline light up and Sydney comes alive. A serene harbourside gem with lush lawns, picnic spots, and stunning views of the Harbour Bridge is a must-visit. Perfect for relaxation, family outings, and sunset walks. Pet-friendly and peaceful. One of the best locations to watch the 31st night fireworks. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nice spot to relax and check out the north side of the harbour with predominantly southern views back to the CBD Car parking can get sketchy but if you don’t drive here you are laughing , so best you arrive early if driving a car. Plenty of open grass area along the foreshore and the views of the Sydney Harbour. There are some renowned walks and hidden gardens in this region so allow plenty of time to enjoy .
Lovely harbour side park with amazing city views.
This is a another great place for photographing of the city, you can see the harbour bridge and Opera house or just having a seat and enjoy the awesome veiws especially on New Years Eve with Sydney spectacular fireworks display which is a must see in Sydney.
Just an amazing heritage park where one can emerse themselves in history . Beautiful Morton bay fig trees with tap roots reaching down the cliff .
