Foreshore Park Newcastle is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy time with family or friends. The park is very well maintained, with plenty of green space, walking paths, and great views of the water. It’s perfect for picnics, walking, cycling, or just letting kids run around safely.

Foreshore Footpath is a beautiful place to visit and take a walk along the banks of the Hunter River Newcastle. The area has undergone redevelopment and is most inviting. Pop into any of the many bars and restaurants. Highly recommended.
