Great view mountain cracks and river makes it worth the walk however due to heavy rain there were rubbish collected. I believe on a nice sunny day this place would be perfect for walk

This is a Nice place to cycle or walk, while looking at the developing skyline of Paramatta.

The boardwalk starts from the parramatta wharf, we took the walk on ANZAC day, so maybe it’s more quiet than usual. The walk is shared with the cyclists and mostly flat surface. Not much scenery along the walk, and you only get to see the parramatta river for a bit. But I would still say it’s a nice quiet walk in the midst of a busy city.
