What people say
My most favourite spot to get away from the office. There is a really nice scenery that you can check out that overlooks Luna Park, Harbour bridge and also the Opera House and it is very nice and quite. There is a bit of greenery so great place to have lunch if you have some extra time on hand. I would recommend coming from George st otherwise you may need to climb up some stairs to get to the seated bench with the fantastic view that looks towards the waterside.
One of the myriad small parks and reserves on Sydney’s lower north shore, the main feature of this reserve is a stairway linking Bay View St to Lavender Bay. There’s a couple of benches with reasonable views if you wanted to spend time here but there’s probably more scenic and pleasant options nearby.
Actually, this place should be a kind of secret place to enjoy NYE fireworks,.. yea.. maybe "open secret" one.. 😂😂😂
