What people say
Pretty nice broadwalk by the water with lots of benches. It’s also usually quiet so can enjoy the place without anyone disturbing you and my dogs love it!
Small and quiet wharf and wooden Broadwalk to explore for anyone curious It's for the apartments and boats, but is accessible to the public. On both sides there is a publicly accessible laneway, one is not marked on Google maps but you can walk down there as per the photo I've added. On the side near the boat club there is some sort of old pump, I suspect from the old Coal mine. I've added a photo of this also.
Quiet relaxing tree covered harbourside park at Birchgrove. Easily accessed by the stairs or the lift it's a nice shady spot to sit and read a book or just watch the boats drift by on the harbour. You will find this little park right next to Balmain Sailing Club and Hopeton Quay Marina.
