What people say
Beautifully landscaped, there is a cleverly designed children's playground, coffee kiosk with wine beer and bites. Very tranquil spot. Bbqs, seating and shade. What a gem! The cafe is called Torpedoes.
So happy to live next door. Looking forward to the upgraded amenities and easier access. But even now a lovely place next to the water with nice spaces to walk our dog and just enjoy your time in tranquility. Also a nice place to spot birds - just beware of the seagulls, as they can be vicious.
Fantastic place. Catch the freedom, North Sydney, Enjoy reading about the history, Seeing the architecture And having a barbecue. Walk to neutral Bay (About 20 minutes away) Catch the ferry back. Leave the car at home.
An brilliant place with many interesting historic layers, harbour, shipping, gasworks, torpedo factory and submarine base. Now with new parks and foreshore. A great place to explore.
